Women are reportedly the fastest growing segment of the incarcerated population, increasing at nearly double the rate of men since 1985.

“The If Project” explores the reasons behind these staggering numbers by intimately following a heroic Seattle police officer (Kim Bogucki) and the writing workshop she created with a group of inmates at a maximum security women’s prison. Curated and hosted by Cynthia Sears and John Ellis, this film is followed by a facilitated discussion.

Dinner seating at the BIMA Bistro starts at 5:30 p.m., and reservations are recommended (206-451-4011). Dinner is not included in ticket price.
