A prison yoga documentary reaches a public screen
A Light in Every Cell premieres in Seattle on November 13, bringing Yoga Behind Bars’ work into a public conversation.
A Light in Every Cell is scheduled to premiere at Benaroya Hall in Seattle this evening, November 13. The twenty-minute documentary follows the work of Yoga Behind Bars.
From a teaching setting to a shared audience
The organization’s event page lists doors at 6 PM and a 7 PM show. The evening includes film, storytelling and live entertainment, with Thriving Communities identified as the documentary’s producer.
Thriving Communities’ own listing confirms the date and venue. Both pages describe an event intended to bring a wider community into contact with the organization’s work. Those descriptions come from the presenters; this is an advance notice, not a review of the film or an independent evaluation of the programme.
A public screening creates a different kind of encounter from a class inside a prison. Viewers can hear the account the film presents and consider the teaching context beyond a conventional studio. The premiere is still ahead at publication, so the evening’s reception and audience response remain to be seen.
