SUMMARY:Redemption Time Screening + Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 14th7:00 – 9:00 PMSanctuary\, Middle Church \nOn May 14\, 2026\, Middle Church in New York City will host a special screening of Redemption Time\, a 70-minute performance film featuring poet Jimmy Santiago Bacaand jazz violinist Christian Howes—artists whose lives were shaped by incarceration and who now give voice to stories of dignity\, struggle\, and renewal. \nDirected by David Gonzalez\, the film blends spoken-word poetry\, live jazz\, and cinematic storytelling into a powerful experience that traces journeys from trauma and incarceration toward healing\, belonging\, and personal freedom. \nThis event invites the community to reflect on themes that resonate far beyond the screen—belonging and isolation\, judgment and dignity\, harm and healing\, and the possibility of second chances. \nThe evening will include the film screening\, a panel discussion\, and a reception. \nPresented in partnership with Rehabilitation Through the Arts (https://rta-arts.org/)\, this screening also serves as a fundraiser supporting RTA’s work\, which uses the arts to help incarcerated individuals develop critical life skills and successfully reintegrate into society. \nAdmission is free with a suggested donation of $20.
