Schedule
Kemba: A Special Screening EventWednesday, October 30, 6-9:30pm This event is a FREE screening of the BET+ movie, KEMBA - a film based on a true story that follows the journey of Kemba Smith Pradia, a sheltered college student who falls in love with a man who turns out to be a drug dealing kingpin. Despite never dealing with drugs, Kemba was suddenly caught in the “war on drugs” and sentenced to more than 24 years in prison. After a determined fight for justice by her parents and influential political forces, Kemba was granted clemency - but the same cannot be said for her former cellmate, Michelle West, who now needs us to fight for her the way the nation fought for Kemba in the 90’s. Pre-screening will be a FREE reception to raise awareness and support for the Free Michelle West campaign, and post-screening will be a LIVE conversation with Kemba herself. |
