IWOC joins IGSTS with a dynamic conversation on the documentary about the tiny Ojibway community of Hollow Water on the shores of Lake Winnipeg. This First Nation must deal with an epidemic of #sexualabuse. The director depicts offenders who have left a legacy of denial and pain, addiction, and suicide. However, as unreadable as these men and women may look, it is with and through restorative justice that the community is successful. The reason I think, the Manitoba justice system was unsuccessful in ending the cycle of abuse, is that the community of Hollow Water took matters into its own hands. The offenders were brought home to face justice in a community healing and sentencing circle. Based on traditional practices, this unique model of justice reunites families and heals both victims and offenders. The film is a powerful tribute to one community's ability to heal and create change.

This podcast is a vision that has found its roots in the historical mistreatment of black persons throughout this country; moreover, in light of recent history, where the world viewed the most egregious and despicable murder of unarmed black men by white police officers in the state of Minnesota. I would like with the aid of multimedia (audio and video) provide awareness of criminal injustice that has historically had a detrimental effect on people of color. I will co-host a podcast out of the city where George Floyd was murdered. Along with providing a commentary on law enforcement and the system of corrections. The platform will vary from commentaries on current issues to interviews with those directly affected by enacted laws and statutes. This conversation will not only include those who are currently and have been recently released from prison but also provide an opportunity for the voiceless to voice their experiences in dealing with the criminal injustice system. In addition, any new laws that are being introduced that affect those currently or previously in the system of correction will be debated.
