In a divided America, progressive activist and political commentator Van Jones controversially works across party lines on landmark criminal justice reform and a more humane response to the addiction crisis. Attempting to be a bridge builder in a time of extreme polarization takes Van and a coalition of unlikely allies deep into the inner workings of a divisive administration, internal debates within both parties, and the lives of frontline activists fighting for their communities. (Brandon Kramer, 2021, USA, 1:30, NR).

Before the film, listen to Motus Theater JustUs monologist Juaquin Mobley present his monologue entitled, “Unhireable.” Pedro Silva, from Younify, will be presenting the introduction and an original song.
