Join us for a screening of They Call Us Monsters followed by a discussion with Director Ben Lear, and Juan Gamez and Antonio Hernandez, both featured in the film.

They Call Us Monsters goes behind the walls of the Compound, a high-security facility where Los Angeles houses its most violent juvenile criminals. To their advocates, they’re kids. To the system, they’re adults. To their victims, they’re monsters. The film follows three young offenders who sign up to take a screenwriting class with producer Gabe Cowan as they await their respective trials.

Sponsored by UCI LIFTED, The UC Irvine Law Criminal Justice Clinic and Community Violence Intervention Clinic, and the UC Irvine Center in Law, Society, and Culture.
