Gideon's Army, an Emmy-nominated documentary that takes an inside look at the criminal justice system from the perspective of three young public defenders in the south, will be showcased in a public screening followed by a panel discussion at the Texas Theatre.

The panel after the public screening will include: State Rep. Rafael Anchia, June Hardwick (one of the three public defenders followed in the film), Michaela Himes (Dallas County Assistant Public Defender and past participant and current supervisor of Gideon’s Promise), Richard Miles (exonerated after 15 years of wrongful conviction and founder of non-profit Miles of Freedom), and Lynn Pride Richardson (Dallas County Chief Public Defender).
