Join us for a screening of the new documentary The First Step followed by Q&A with filmmakers, Lance and Brandon Kramer, sponsored by the Department of Communication, the Henry Institute for the Study of Christianity & Politics, the Calvin Prison Initiative, the Calvin Criminology Program, Office of the Provost, and the Film Arts Committee.
In a divided America, 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 him deep into the inner workings of a divisive administration, internal debates within both parties, and the lives of frontline activists fighting for their communities.
