Why attend?
In partnership with Virginia CARES & People, INC, Inthrive Film Festival is coming to Fredericksburg on August 8 & 9 for two days of films, panelists, artists, and community partners who have survived incarceration and gone on to thrive!
Come be a part of the community of incarceration survivors, advocates, allies, and friends that are working to remove barriers to successful reentry!
