About this Event
The Perlmutter Center for Legal Justice is hosting a private screening of Sixteen Years, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A.
The event will feature Jia Rizvi’s documentary Sixteen Years, which features Jeffrey Deskovic’s decades-long journey after being wrongfully convicted and imprisoned as a teen for a crime he did not commit.
Following the screening, Jia Rizvi, Jeffrey Deskovic, and Nelson Cruz, a Perlmutter Center client actively fighting for his exoneration, will come together for a Q&A with Deputy Director, Derrick Hamilton, to discuss wrongful convictions, the power of storytelling, and the ongoing fight for justice.
Light bites will be provided.
This event is in collaboration with the Criminal Defense & Death Penalty Clinic and the Public Interest Law Student Association at Cardozo School of Law.
