Wayne State University Law School and the Damon J. Keith Center will present a viewing of the film “Commuted” on Tuesday, April 1, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in Wayne Law’s Partrich Auditorium, 471 W. Palmer Ave. in Detroit.
At the age of 26, Danielle Metz was sentenced to 3 life terms in prison for a drug conviction tied to her husband. After serving 23 years, she was granted clemency. Clemency offered her a rare chance to regain the life and family that she’d been dreaming about in prison. The film “Commuted” traces Danielle’s journey to find purpose and love, and to confront the wounds of incarceration that linger after release from prison. Q&A and reception will follow after the film viewing.
Anyone with questions about the free screening may email Jalila Jefferson-Bullock at jalila.jefferson-bullock@wayne.edu.
