The Trials of Marvin Mutch

Join KQED and the Oakland Museum of California for a free film screening of The Trials of Marvin Mutch. 

 The Trials of Marvin Mutch takes a deep, personal look at what it’s like to finally experience freedom after more than four decades behind bars, raising fundamental questions about our criminal justice system, rehabilitation and redemption.  The film follows Marvin as he navigates the outside world — from getting his first cell phone and apartment to his wedding day. It also reflects back on his life, his criminal case and the toll that prison and dozens of unsuccessful attempts to win his release took.  Join us for the screening of this KQED documentary by Adam Grossberg, followed by a conversation with KQED’s Marisa Lagos about reforming parole and re-entry in the best interests of everyone involved in the system.  

Doors open at 5pm.
