Midwest Theater and The Journey of Hope...From Violence to Healing presents "Last Day of Freedom"

The Journey of Hope empowers murder victim family members, exonerated death row survivors, and others to share their personal experiences with capital punishment.  These powerful stories illuminate the many morals and practical flaws of the death penalty and what we can do about this failed system.  Come hear Bill Babbitt, the subject of the documentary, and learn more about the November referendum on the death penalty.  All are welcome.

Movie Synopsis:  When Bill Babbitt realizes his brother Manny has committed a crime he agonizes over his decision - should he call the police?  Last Day of Freedom, a richly animated personal narrative, tells the story of Bill's decision to stand by his brother in the face of war, crime and capital punishment.  The film is a portrait of a man at the nexus of the most pressing social issues of our day - veterans' care, mental health access and criminal justice.
