This Wrongful Conviction Day (Oct 2), take a deep dive into the flaws of the justice system with a screening of 'Innocence Should Be Enough'
About this Event

Join Nine PBS, the Midwest Innocence Project, and Kansas City PBS for a screening of Innocence Should Be Enough at Hi-Pointe Theater, featuring local organizations and a panel discussion to follow.

What happens when an innocent person is sentenced to spend their life in Pr*son? Unfortunately, innocence alone isn’t enough to overturn a conviction in Missouri and Kansas. From filmmaker Solomon Shields, ‘Innocence Should Be Enough’ examines the shocking flaws in the justice system by highlighting the work of the Midwest Innocence Project and the personal stories of those wrongfully convicted.

The panel discussion will take a deeper dive into the flaws of the justice system and what the community can do for those who are wrongfully convicted.

Free parking is available throughout the Hi-Pointe neighborhood. Lindell Bank offers patrons free parking in their lots outside of banking hours, beginning at 6 pm.
