Screening: Pardon Me on April 29 at Allentown Symphony Hall 🎬

Pardon Me is a short documentary that explores how pardons can do more than restore rights—they can give individuals the opportunity to live as full citizens and contribute meaningfully to society. The film examines how second chances can also uplift the lower-income communities where these individuals live. Through the stories of two people navigating the pardon process—one of whom ultimately receives a pardon—and interviews with key civic leaders, Pardon Me highlights the broader social impact of redemption and opportunity.

Event Schedule:
• 5 PM – 6 PM | Doors Open
• 6 PM – 6:35 PM | Screening
• 6:35 PM – 7:30 PM | Q&A
