About the Screening
Amidst the redwood trees on the Pacific Coast sits one of the most infamous prisons in US history: Pelican Bay. The supermax prison was designed specifically for mass-scale solitary confinement and isolated men for decades. Then, one day, 30,000 incarcerated people went on hunger strike. Told by those who lived it, The Strike goes beyond making a case against solitary confinement; it illuminates the power of organizing, and, in doing so, flips the true-crime genre on its head.
