Directed by J.M. Harper

Join us for a screening of As We Speak, a compelling documentary in which Bronx rap artist Kemba delves into the alarming trend of weaponizing rap lyrics in the U.S. criminal justice system and beyond. The film uncovers how law enforcement has increasingly used artists' creative expressions as evidence in criminal cases, a practice that has quietly persisted for decades. Through powerful storytelling and expert insights, As We Speak sheds light on the broader implications for free speech and artistic freedom in the face of this growing legal strategy.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with Sam Widdoes, entertainment attorney and lead producer of As We Speak.
