Join Northeastern Law’s Center for Public Interest Advocacy and Collaboration (CPIAC) for a screening of “The Strike,” an award-winning feature documentary that tells the remarkable true story of the largest hunger strike in US history.
In 2013, over 30,000 incarcerated individuals across California’s prison system united in an historic protest against the inhumane practice of indefinite solitary confinement. From the notorious Pelican Bay State Prison, their movement sparked a seismic shift in prison policy and intensified the fight against mass incarceration.
Please join us after the screening for a brief conversation with the film's protagonist and one of the filmmakers.
