Life Beyond Conviction

About Life Beyond Conviction

The shows' purpose is to help justice-impacted individuals combat collateral consequences by showcasing their hidden genius and talents—gifts that are too often overlooked, discriminated against, disregarded, discarded and discounted. Through compelling storytelling and insightful discussions, we intend to highlight what society is missing by excluding their contributions.
