SUMMARY:Screening of Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four (2016) at The Little Art Theater\, hosted by the Ohio Innocence Project\, Antioch College\, the Coretta Scott King Center\, and YS Pride
DESCRIPTION:What: Screening of Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four (2016)\nDate and Time: Saturday\, June 6\, at 12:00 PM \nLocation: the Little Art Theatre in Yellow Springs\n(247 Xenia Avenue\, 45387)\nHosted by the Ohio Innocence Project\, Antioch College\, the Coretta Scott King Center\, and YS Pride\n \n\nDescription: \nFour Latina lesbians fight against mythology\, homophobia\, and prosecutorial fervor after being wrongfully convicted of raping two little girls during the Satanic Panic witch hunt of the 80s and 90s in this now-classic gay rights ‘True Crime’ tale that helped exonerate the ‘San Antonio Four’. For more information\, visit: https://www.southwestofsalem.com/ \n\n \nPOST-FILM TALK and DISCUSSION with Anna Vasquez (Director of Outreach and Education with the Innocence Project of Texas). Anna is one of four wrongfully convicted women commonly referred to as “The San Antonio Four.” The other exonerees in this case are Kristie Mayhugh\, Cassandra Rivera and Elizabeth Ramirez. https://innocencetexas.org/cases/anna-vasquez-2/\n \nFREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC\n \n\nSYNOPSIS: \nSouthwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four excavates the nightmarish persecution of Elizabeth Ramirez\, Cassandra Rivera\, Kristie Mayhugh\, and Anna Vasquez — four Latina lesbians wrongfully convicted of raping 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 old at the time that allegations surfaced. \nUsing the women’s home video footage from 21 years ago combined with recent verité footage and interviews\, the film explores their personal narratives and their search for exculpatory evidence to help their losing criminal trials. 15 years into their journey\, director Deborah S. Esquenazi captures an on-camera recantation by one of the initial outcry victims\, now 25 years old although 7 at the time of the investigation. This brings the filmmaker into the role of investigator along with attorneys at the Innocence Project\, who are just beginning their quest for truth in this case. \nTogether with attorneys\, the film culminates with the women being released from prison to await their searing new exoneration hearings in San Antonio. Helming new legislation\, this is the first case in U.S. history that allows wrongfully convicted innocents to challenge convictions based on ‘Junk Science’\, or debunked forensics. As lesbian low income women of color\, these women hold intersecting identities that make them the most vulnerable to incarceration and juror bias. This under-reported injustice is actually widespread: Latina women represent one of the growing populations heading into prison. In addition\, most reported exonerations and wrongful convictions focus solely on men and cases involving women\, let alone lesbian women of color are largely under-reported. The film unravels the interplay of mythology\, homophobia\, and prosecutorial fervor that led to their indictment.   \nSouthwest of Salem won a Peabody award\, an Emmy nomination\, the Critics Choice Award for ‘Best First Feature’\, and the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Documentary\, among many other distinctions.  \nhttps://www.southwestofsalem.com
