Ending war: militarization, criminalization, and mass incarceration

Nicole will collaborate with spoken word artist, Rienne Scott, to create a 15-minute documentary exploring a local soldier's decision to intentionally have himself shot in the leg rather than return to combat in Iraq. The documentary, When Does a Bullet Save One from the Bomb?, uses spoken word to share this soldier's story, connecting it to the economic draft, conscientious objectors, the increasing casualty rate in Iraq, as well as the level of gun violence happening in Philadelphia.
