Nov. 18th - Screening:
The Window On Death Row

Join Director/Producer Linda Freund and Exec. Producer/Board President of Death Penalty Focus Mike Farrell at this screening of The Window on Death Row Tuesday, Nov. 18th at the New York Film School, 3300 W Riverside Dr, Burbank, CA 91505. Q&A to follow.

Written, directed and produced by Linda Freund, The Window on Death Row is campaigning for best documentary short at the Academy Awards. The film tells the story of Joaquín José Martínez, the first Spaniard exonerated from the U.S. death row who was once a supporter of capital punishment until, at age 24, he was convicted of a double murder in Florida. He spent more than five years behind bars, three on death row. The case pitted U.S. policy against that of the European Union, which bans the death penalty.

Nearly 20 years after his exoneration, Martínez transforms his personal trauma into public advocacy.

Video: Rising Up by Stephen Fiske

In collaboration with filmmaker/partner Robert Corsini, ICUJP Board member Stephen Fiske wrote the song Rising Up as a call to action protesting Trump’s trashing of democracy.

As a long-time musician/activist since the Civil Rights Movement, Fiske wrote an adaptation of the traditional freedom song Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around, to address the immediacy of these troubled times and to capture the spirit of the nationwide NoKings rallies.

You can see the video here:
