"Reimagining Safety" Documentary Screening and Panel

  • UCLA Neuroscience Research Building Auditorium (map)

A screening of "Reimagining Safety" followed by a panel with the filmmaker and experts on equitable alternatives to policing & incarceration.

Worldwide protests following the 2020 murder of George Floyd included calls to defund or abolish the police until a sharp rise in crime gave politicians and police supporters the fuel they needed to suppress the movement. However, a detailed conversation about transforming public safety was never had. In this film, 10 experts discuss how policing and incarceration create more harm than good, why the system persists, and what changes can be made to make everyone safe.

Panel Discussion Featuring:

  • LA District Attorney George Gascon

  • Dr Jody Armour (USC Law Professor)

  • Nikki Blak (Sociologist)

  • Hadiya Kennedy (former LAPD)

  • Jose Gutierrez (Licensed MFT and Social Worker)

  • Sennett Devermont (Police Auditor)

  • Gina Viola (former LA Mayoral Candidate)

  • Matthew Solomon (director of the film)
