Please join A Safe Place, Inc. on Sunday May
27th at 5PM as we present, FREE
TO THE NANTUCKET COMMUNITY, a screening of the film I AM EVIDENCE at the
Dreamland Studio Theater with a community panel discussion immediately
following. I AM EVIDENCE has won multiple
awards for best documentary at several film festivals around the country and
was featured at the 2017 Nantucket Film Festival – it will premiere on HBO in
April.
Produced by actor, director, and Joyful Heart
Foundation Founder & President, Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: SVU), I
AM EVIDENCE tells the story of four survivors whose rape kits went untested for
years, following them as they navigate their way through the criminal justice
system and learn that, so often, the system is broken. The film reveals the
historic nature of the way we treat the crime of sexual assault in this
country, and the positive effects that occur when perpetrators are held
accountable and survivors are given an opportunity for healing and justice.
We at A Safe Place are dedicated to our
mission: To eliminate domestic
violence and sexual assault in the Nantucket community while empowering every
woman, man and child to live a life free from violence. To this end, we offer the Nantucket
Community free counseling and advocacy with the police, hospital and court,
have a 24/7 emergency hotline and several prevention programs in the Nantucket
schools.
