About this event
Get ready to experience the heart-wrenching and powerful story of "Sam's Cry."
In "Sam's Cry," we take you on a journey through the life of Sam, a young man whose formative years were marred by the horrors of a home life that resembled a war zone. Witnessing the erratic and abusive behavior of his father, Sam's life takes a dark turn when he is wrongfully convicted of a murder he didn't commit, finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Sentenced to the California Youth Authority, or "YA," Sam encounters life-altering experiences that will forever shape his destiny. As an adult, he attempts to reintegrate into society but is caught in a never-ending cycle of the system. Tragically, his life takes an unexpected turn when he is admitted to a psychiatric ward for evaluation, and within just four hours of admission, Sam's story takes a shocking and devastating turn.
But "Sam's Cry" is not just about Sam; it's about his mother, Judy, a woman of indomitable spirit and unwavering determination. The moment she receives that life-changing phone call, she embarks on a relentless quest for justice against seemingly insurmountable odds.
This is a story of triumph over adversity, where Judy's unwavering resolve not only preserves Sam's legacy but also propels it forward by achieving the passage of two crucial by-laws, hard-won victories in their shared quest for freedom and equality.
"Sam's Cry" is an emotionally charged and thought-provoking film that will touch your heart, inspire change, and remind us all that even in the face of unimaginable loss, a mother's love and determination can break the silence of injustice.
Join us for the premiere of "Sam's Cry" and witness the compelling tale of one mother's unwavering pursuit of justice and a son's enduring legacy, showing us that even in the darkest moments, cries for justice can echo louder than silence.
