The Institute for Policy Studies proudly joins Just Kids Maryland to invite you to a free screening of the original film, The Truth About Our Youth, a look at Maryland’s youth in the adult criminal justice system.

The film examines this practice through the stories of four individuals charged as adults while still teenagers. Just Kids Youth Leaders share their personal stories to bring statistics to life and dispel misconceptions about youth who are charged as adults. The film will be followed by a panel discussion and Q+A session featuring youth from the film and experts in the field of juvenile justice.

This event is brought to you by the Just Kids Partnership in collaboration with: Progressive Cheverly, Institute for Policy Studies, and Family & Friends of Incarcerated People.

Refreshments from Busboys and Poets will be provided! Please RSVP to reserve your seat.
