About The Event
In this fictional documentary, U.S. prisons are at capacity, and President Nixon declares a state
of emergency. All new prisoners, most of whom are connected to the antiwar movement, are
now given the choice of jail time or spending three days in Punishment Park, where they will be
hunted for sport by federal authorities. The prisoners invariably choose the latter option, but
learn that, between the desert heat and the brutal police officers, their chances of survival are
slim. Come see the film Rolling Stone called “one of the finest films about dissent in America.”
Doors at 7pm, the show will start at 7:30pm. Arrive early to grab popcorn and drinks, catch the
pre-show, and share recommendations with everyone.
