Risking Light: A Film about Restorative Justice

From the streets of Min­neapo­lis, the abo­rig­i­nal lands of Aus­tralia, and the killing fields of Cam­bo­dia come the pow­er­ful sto­ries of three peo­ple who had the courage to step out of the haunt­ing, trag­ic dark­ness of the past, risk­ing every­thing to reach the light of their own com­pas­sion.

Risk­ing Light is a thought-pro­vok­ing doc­u­men­tary that explores resilience, and the painful process of mov­ing from grief to com­pas­sion and for­give­ness.

Visit the theater lobby for information about restorative justice programs in Hennepin County. After the film, stay for remarks by Mary Johnson, North Minneapolis resident and the founder of From Death to Life, whose story of meeting and forgiving the man who murdered her son is featured in the film.

Resource fair in the lobby featuring: Community Mediation and Restorative Services, Conflict Resolution Center, From Death to Life, Minnesota Peacebuilding Leadership Institute, Restorative Justice Community Action and Seward Longfellow Restorative Justice
