Love and Juice Film Series: JUVIES
“Juvies”
With special guest, Bill Thatcher, Executive Director of HeartStream Education, a non profit organization providing consulting and training for corrections staff as well as programs for inmates. Bill met many of the young people you’ll see in this film.
From award-winning documentary filmmaker Leslie Neale comes Juvies, a stark insight into the personal stories of twelve kids being prosecuted and incarcerated as adults. For two years, Neale taught a video production class to Los Angeles Central Juvenile Hall to juveniles who were being tried as adults. Following the kids into adult prison, Juvies exposes a justice system that has become a dehumanizing vending machine of injustice. Narrated by actor Mark Wahlberg, himself a former juvenile offender, Juvies gets inside the lives of these kids who face a life of incarceration haunted by mistakes and missed opportunities. They display courage in the midst of despair, hope in an ocean of loss.
