JCSM joins 20 other screening partners in the 2017-18 Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers. Southern Circuit, the nation’s original regional tour of independent films and filmmakers, coordinates multi-week tours for invited filmmakers and their new work. Filmmakers participate in community screenings and audience engagement activities. On Thursday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m., JCSM hosts director Deborah Esquenazi for a screening of her film: Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four. The film follows the nightmarish persecution of Elizabeth Ramirez, Cassandra Rivera, Kristie Mayhugh, and Anna Vasquez — four women wrongfully convicted of victimizing two little girls in San Antonio, Texas. The film begins its journey inside a Texas prison, after these women have spent nearly a decade behind bars. They were 19 and 20 years at the time that allegations surfaced. Auditorium seating is limited on a first-come, first served basis.
