Join us for a screening of award-winning feature documentary film The Strike, which tells the story of a generation of California men who endured decades of solitary confinement in California’s notorious supermax Pelican Bay State Prison. Against all odds, they launched the largest hunger strike in U.S. history and forced the prison to reduce its use of mass-scale solitary confinement.

Following the film, there will be a panel with Directors Lucas Guilkey and JoeBill Muñoz; solitary survivors who were part of the hunger strike in Pelican Bay, Jack L. Morris and Michael Saavedra; and attorney Jules Lobel, lead counsel on Ashker v. Governor of California, a federal class action lawsuit challenging the practice of solitary confinement at Pelican Bay.

Moderated by Dolores Canales, an advocate and organizer at the heart of the movement to end solitary confinement.
