University of the District of Columbia

Screening of Crown Heights


The Center for Advancing Opportunity sponsored an exclusive advanced screening of the 2017 Sundance Audience Award winning film, “Crown Heights” (Amazon Studios), on August 25, 2017 at the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law. “Crown Heights” is based on the true story of Colin Warner who in 1980 was charged and convicted of a murder he didn’t commit. As the LA Times said, “‘Crown Heights’ is a pointed reminder of the gaping flaws in the criminal justice system and the power of perseverance and loyalty to overcome them.” The screening was preceded by a reception and followed by a Q&A.
