Don’t miss an important opportunity to engage with the powerful documentary Commuted, screening on April 1st, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM at Wayne State Law School in Detroit, MI. This film tells a compelling story of justice, resilience, and the profound human impact of the criminal legal system.

Please join the Damon J. Keith Center for a viewing of the film, Commuted. At the age of 26, Danielle Metz was sentenced to 3 life terms in prison for a drug conviction tied to her husband. After serving 23 years, she was granted clemency. Clemency offered her a rare chance to regain the life and family that she’d been dreaming about in prison. The film, Commuted, traces Danielle’s journey to find purpose and love, and to confront the wounds of incarceration that linger after release from prison.

Following the screening, there will be a Q&A session with Danielle, the filmmaker, offering a chance to dive deeper into the themes and stories behind the documentary. The evening will conclude with a reception, providing space for connection and reflection.
