Films
Join us at Emerson College!
Why attend?
In partnership with the Emerson Prison Initiative at Emerson College the Inthrive Film Festival is bringing a day full of films, panelists, artists, and community partners who have survived incarceration and gone on to thrive to the Boston community!
Come be a part of the community of incarceration survivors, advocates, allies, and friends that are working to remove barriers to successful reentry!
What to expect
Be moved by films from incarceration survivors. Be inspired by spoken word performed by people still behind bars. Hear filmmakers share how they went from behind bars to behind the camera. Meet entrepreneurs who have changed their lives and are now pillars of their community. Meet incarceration survivors who are now changing policy at the local and national level by sharing their stories and using their talents.
