The University of Maryland, Baltimore Center for Violence Prevention and the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center are proud to sponsor a special screening of the documentary "Beyond the Wire" by Dr. S. Rasheem and the Baltimore Legacy Project.
"Mass media and propaganda about Baltimore has dominated mainstream consciousness. Media that sensationalizes drugs, crime, and poverty. The goal of 'Beyond the Wire' is to challenge dominant portrayals of Baltimore that center only on crime and poverty by highlighting its long-standing tradition of resistance, community, organizing, and grassroots leadership," said Rasheem.
Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion with local leaders who are featured in the film. The event will take place on Friday, Sept. 25, from 1-3:45 p.m. at the University of Maryland School of Social Work Auditorium located at 525 W. Redwood St., Baltimore, MD 21201
