What: Stories of TRIumph: a Film Premiere and Fundraiser

• All proceeds will benefit The Reentry Initiative (TRI)

When: Sunday, October 2nd, 2022. 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm

Where: Longmont Museum, 400 Quail Road, Longmont CO 80501

Please join us for an evening to learn more about TRI and how we affect the lives of those touched by incarceration - creating Stories of TRIumph. You will have a chance to:

• Watch an documentary 'short' lime lighting trauma and prisons
• Participate in a talk back with the director and impacted persons
• Be inspired by the Stories of TRIumph
• Mingle with beverages and finger foods
• Meet our staff and board members
• Speak directly with those most affected by incarceration
• Engage in a Mission Moment - we can't do our work without your generosity - thank you!

More about the film: Most people have heard that the United States is the most incarcerated country in the world, but often overlooked is the particular impact incarceration has on women.

TRI has been partnering behind the scenes to create a full length documentary about the cycle of trauma and incarceration, looking specifically at how women, families, and communities are hit the hardest. We will watch a 'short' version of the work-in-progress and offer a talk back with the film director, impacted women, and community leaders working with and within the department of corrections.
