Event
Social Justice Film Festival - Opening Night Gala with "Mr. Big"
Come to the Social Justice Film Festival Opening Night Gala Screening and Reception for the documentary "Mr. Big."
Mr. Big is the name of an undercover sting created and perfected by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It is considered entrapment in many other countries, including the United States and England. But the Canadian court system allows confessions made to cops posing as criminals to be admitted as evidence.
With shocking undercover police video and heart-wrenching interviews, Mr.Big reveals the experience of several sting victims who spent years in jail for murders they didn't commit. The documentary examines the risk of false confessions obtained through this specialized scenario and explores why it is permitted by the Canadian justice system.
Ticket includes admission to the film, a question and answer period as well as admission to the reception that will immediately follow the screening.
Proceeds benefit the Prisoners Education Network.
