SUMMARY:'Redemption Time' Screening & Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:On April 19\, 2026\, at 4:00 PM\, Trinity United Methodist Church will host a special screening event of Redemption Time\, a 70-minute performance film featuring poet Jimmy Santiago Baca and Asheville-based jazz violinist Christian Howes — artists whose lives were shaped by incarceration and who now give voice to stories of dignity\, struggle\, and renewal. \nDirected by David Gonzalez\, the film blends spoken-word poetry\, live jazz\, and cinematic storytelling into a powerful experience that traces journeys from trauma and incarceration toward healing\, belonging\, and personal freedom. \nThe event invites the community to reflect on themes that resonate far beyond the screen — belonging and isolation\, judgment and dignity\, harm and healing\, and the possibility of second chances. Admission is free\, with optional donations. \nThe program will begin with live music\, followed by the film screening\, a panel discussion\, and a closing reception at Deep Time AVL. The reception offers attendees an opportunity to connect and reflect on the film’s themes with neighbors\, artists\, and community partners. \nThis event is part of Second Chance Month\, a national campaign raising awareness about the impacts of incarceration while encouraging second-chance opportunities and community reintegration. \nCommunity partners include Deep Time AVL\, 12 Baskets Café\, Asheville Poverty Initiative\, the Buncombe County Re-entry Council\, the UNCA Prison Education Program\, and Trinity United Methodist Church.
