Bucks WestDoc Live – Classroom 4

Bucks County Community College presents BUCKS WESTDOC, a dynamic
monthly documentary film series hosted by Peter LeDonne and produced in
partnership with Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Chuck Braverman, creator of
the acclaimed WESTDOC platform. As the new East Coast home of WESTDOC, the
Zlock Performing Arts Center will showcase important new documentaries and host
live conversations with Q&A —both in-person and via video link—with their
creators. With audience Q&A, professional video production, and
international visibility through WESTDOC programming, BUCKSDOC offers a
powerful promotional platform for the college and positions the series as a
significant destination for major distributors, networks, and streaming
services.

CLASSROOM 4 is the story of an award-winning History
professor from Lewis & Clark College leading a group of students, half
incarcerated and half free, in a class titled THE HISTORY OF CRIME AND
PUNISHMENT IN THE UNITED STATES. Through exploring concepts including
masculinity, prison abolition, and mercy, the work challenges the invisibility
of incarcerated people, reveals the consequences of mass imprisonment for
everyone, and emphasizes the importance of these programs to bring together the
incarcerated and free to meet and know one another.
