Debates and politics about the American criminal justice system are extremely complex, involving many stories of evidence, interpretation, policies, and laws that can center around just one case. States of Violence approaches this urgent topic from those directly affected by crime, incarceration, police, and war. From the 1970s to present day, this program demonstrates how participatory community media has produced scalable documentaries in the name of creating an engaging, participatory discourse for better socio-cultural understandings as well as tangible progressions towards political change.
