A special screening of The House I Live In will take place on Thursday, November 12th at 7pm at the Main Street Landing Film House in Burlington. Presented by Allen Gilbert, Executive Director of Vermont's ACLU chapter, the award honors Eugene Jarecki for his film The House I Live In which is described by media critics as "a shattering case against the War on Drugs" and an "attack on America's War on Drugs contends it is a grotesquely wasteful public-works scheme." Since its release in 2012 the film has won the Grand Jury Prize for a Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival as well as a Peabody Award in 2014. On November 21st at 7pm at Main Street Landing Union Station in Burlington, the Peace & Justice Center will be awarding the 2015 Ed Everts Social Justice Award to Vermont filmmaker Eugene Jarecki and Vermonters for Criminal Justice Reform for their work toward reforming the America's unjust system of mass incarceration and the War on Drugs.
