The Screen Justice Film Series at the University of the District of Columbia announces the screening of Reckless Indifference (2004) with Academy-Award nominated and two-time Emmy awarded director William Gazecki attending.
Thursday, February 21, 2008
5.00-6.00pm Master class with William Gazecki: Professor William Hanff will lead a classroom discussion/demonstration focusing on Mr. Gazecki's award-winning work as a record producer for Bette Midler and The Doors, sound mixer for Hill Street Blue's and independent documentary director --- e.g. Waco: The Rules of Engagement (1997). Seating for the master class is limited. If you would like to attend please email devans-pritchard@udc.edu with names and we will send confirmation.
6.00-8.15pm. Screening of Reckless Indifference and Q&A with William Gazecki: The 1996 death of Jimmy Farris in a ritzy Los Angeles suburb brought an energetic response from the local District Attorney. The resulting trial ended with sentences of life imprisonment without parole for all four surviving participants even though only one of the four actually committed the murder. The film questions the harsh sentences and asks whether the D.A. went full-throttle because of a series of failures (notably the O.J. Simpson debacle). The film received The International Press Academy's Golden Satellite Award for Outstanding Feature Documentary.
LOCATION: Bldg. 39, Room 201, David A. Clarke School of Law, University of the District of Columbia, 4200 Connecticut Avenue (at Vann Ness/UDC Metro, Red Line).
