DESCRIPTION:Directed by Eric Daniel Metzgar\nU.S | 2020 | Documentary\n96 m
 inutes | English\n\nA hybrid of animation and live action\, “A Once and Fut
 ure Peace” provides an engrossing exploration of Peacemaking Circles — a hu
 mane and effective alternative to traditional criminal-justice punishment (
 i.e.\, prison) in which juvenile offenders are required to engage in direct
 ed dialogue with family members and friends over an extended period. With r
 oots in ancient practices in many cultures\, this so-called restorative-jus
 tice approach is being used in a handful of U.S. cities (including the pilo
 t program in Seattle featured here). Far less expensive than incarcerating 
 offenders\, the circles obviously aren’t 100 percent successful\, but they’
 ve proven far more likely to bring young people back to a lawful\, producti
 ve path than imprisonment. The film follows the case of Andy\, a Latinx tee
 n whose distraught family works to lure him away from gang life with the he
 lp of circle facilitator Saroeum Phoung\, a Cambodian refugee who himself w
 as a hardened gang member in his youth. These sequences are expressively an
 imated — to protect Andy’s identity — and alternate with live-action vérité
  footage and interviews that trace Saroeum’s own life and the evolution of 
 the circles in the U.S.\, where formerly skeptical judges and prosecutors c
 ome to recognize the value of the method.\n\nFree in-person event. Click he
