Carol Jacobsen will screen and discuss her most recent film. "Time Like Zeros" is a short film narrated by eight women who were recently released from prison. Their voices, speaking over scenes that move gradually from the prison exterior into the darkest interior cells of the segregation unit, tell a story of survival as each woman recalls her agonizing first and ongoing days in prison. The sense of community and compassion that sustains them is felt in their voices; it contrasts sharply with the nights and days of pain that are evident in the visual scenes, such as those of a woman being manhandled by guards and chained down to a slab in her cell. The title was taken from a statement by one of the film's narrators who recalled her first thoughts upon entering prison. As she looked ahead at her life sentence stretching out before her, she said: "All I could see ahead was zeros. Time like zeros." Her comment is echoed in the camera movement that encircles the prison and the circles of razor wire that are seen whizzing by. This event is free and open to the public.
