Social Justice Film Festival - If I See You I'll Say Hi
Sun, Oct 23, 2016 at 5:30pm
Julia Roeselers was an employee of a neighborhood-cafe when she was held at knifepoint during an attempted robbery of the cafe. The robber turned out to be her 14-year-old neighbor.
“We should punish these criminals!” is often the reaction to incidences like these. But what happens to the neighbor, the victim’s fears and doubts, the boy’s mother’s grief, and the future?
The film follows Julia’s thoughts and doubts as she goes through the legal process in a quest for understanding of criminal law, victimization, youth crime and restorative justice.
