We're very excited to announce that in 2018 we'll be taking The Penalty on tour around the US, starting with a week long tour of Ohio from the 22nd-28th of January.
Ohio currently has over 25 executions scheduled up to 2022 with the next one scheduled for just a few weeks time on February 13th. After the last attempted execution ended in disarray, there couldn't be a better time to take this film around the state.
We've teamed up with Ohioans to Stop Executions and The Inter-community Justice and Peace Centre to put on 9 FREE SCREENINGS around the state. Each screening will be followed by a talkback session with the film's co-director Will Francome and special guests, plus the opportunity to take action.
For those of you in Ohio, or who have friends or family in the state, go to this link to reserve your free tickets.
If you're not in Ohio - don't fear - there will be more screenings this year, with multiple state tours and one-off screenings. If you're interested in helping to host a screening, please do get in touch with laura@reelnice.co.uk.
We're looking forward to meeting many of you in person in 2018 and bringing this film to you all.
The Penalty Team
