About the Screening

Amidst the redwood trees on the Pacific Coast sits one of the most infamous prisons in US history: Pelican Bay. The supermax prison was designed specifically for mass-scale solitary confinement and isolated men for decades. Then one day, 30,000 incarcerated people went on hunger strike. Told by those who lived it, The Strike goes beyond making a case against solitary confinement; it illuminates the power of organizing, and in doing so, flips the true-crime genre on its head.

These screenings will be open to the public. IDA members receive $5 off and free popcorn and soda at the following screenings. All screenings will be followed by a live Q&A with filmmakers.
