The Land of the Free punishes or imprisons more of its citizens than any other country. This collection of testimonials from criminal offenders, family members, and experts on America’s criminal justice system puts a human face on the 1 in 31 Americans subjugated by the US Government's 40 year, one trillion dollar social catastrophe: The War on Drugs; a failed policy underscored by fear, politics, racial prejudice and intolerance in a public atmosphere of "out of sight, out of mind."

Please join us at The NeXus for the premiere screening of The Exile Nation Project: An Oral History of the War on Drugs & the American Criminal Justice System, a new documentary film by Charles Shaw. There will be a reception preceding the screening with wine from San Francisco's historic Buehler Vineyards and gourmet catering by Chef JP Weingarten. Q & A to follow the screening with the Director and a number of those featured in the documentary.
