A fundraiser for the Criminal Justice Coalition on Thursday, Feb. 23, 7:30pm, will feature Austinite Mark Mederson‘s brave and surprising documentary Lifers, an award-winning look at life sentences without parole. As FilmThreat.com wrote, “Lifers shows why the documentary still keeps going strong.” The event will include music from the Weary Boys and Dickie Lee Erwin.
