Redwing Blackbird Theater

Redwing Blackbird Theater puppet theater celebrating community- & citizen-driven action towards global justice & sustainability

Redwing Blackbird Theater is a small performance and workshop space in the Hudson Valley in Rosendale, NY. We work in communities creating puppet parades, shows and puppet exhibits that ask how people can live together in today’s world. We strive to create what does not yet exist, and to go deep enough to draw out what has always been there.

DOCUMENTARY SCREENING
Friday January 2nd 5pm

It's Criminal
A Tale of Prison and Privilege

After, miso soup dinner and discussion with Patti Hernandez, creator of the program Telling My Story that was the foundation of this project.

It's Criminal highlights the economic and social inequities that divide the United States and offers a vision of how separated communities can learn to speak to each other. Poignant and personal, the feature documentary shares the life-changing journeys of incarcerated women and Dartmouth College students working together to write and perform an original play that explores the often painful and troubled paths that landed the women behind bars and also shares some of their fragile visions for the future.

It's a transformational movie that delves into privilege, poverty and injustice and asks viewers to think about who is in prison and why. In addition to exploring disparities, It's Criminal also captures how the students and prisoners struggle and ultimately succeed in overcoming their fears and prejudices to form hard won bonds of friendship, showing that empathy is a powerful that can help bridge the divide.
