WHEN CLAUDE GOT SHOT
FREE SCREENING + CONVERSATION
Thursday, May 26 • 6:30 pm • Oriental Theatre
When Claude Motley is shot during a visit to Milwaukee for his high school reunion, he realizes there's no escaping gun violence and the ripples of trauma it causes. When he discovers his assailant was shot only two nights later by another attempted victim and is now paralyzed, it complicates thinking of any such crime as singular. Tracing this case through the criminal justice system, this documentary asks how and if these cycles can be broken.
