29 Years of Solitary: Film Screening + Panel with Robert King and Vadim Jean

Event information

Robert Hillary King spent 29 years in solitary confinement in Louisiana for a crime he maintains he did not commit. He is one of the Angola 3, the subject of In the Land of the Free, Vadim Jean's critically acclaimed film documenting the case that Amnesty International called "cruel and inhumane and a violation of the US's obligations under international law."

Today, Albert Woodfox and Herman Wallace - the other members of the Angola 3 - are still imprisoned. They have each spent nearly 40 years in solitary.

This October, Robert King and Vadim Jean are coming to Oxford to tell this unbelievable story.

In association with The Isis, Howard League Oxford, Magdalen Film Society, OU Amnesty International and Oxford Black History Month.
