Documentary Screenings

On Thursday, September 16, Ignite Greensboro, a project of Students of Action,  screened “The Trials of Darryl Hunt.” This film documents a brutal rape/murder in the American South, and offers a deeply personal story of a wrongfully convicted man, Darryl Hunt, who spent twenty years in prison for a crime he did not commit. In 1984, a young white newspaper reporter, Deborah Sykes, was raped, sodomized and stabbed to death just blocks from where she worked in Winston-Salem, NC. Based on an ID made by a former Klan member, a 19-year-old black man, Darryl Hunt, was charged. No physical evidence linked Hunt to the crime. Hunt was convicted by an all white jury, and sentenced to life imprisonment. In 1994, DNA testing cleared Hunt, yet he would spend another ten years behind bars. We will have a few special guests in attendance to help facilitate a healthy discussion following the film. Hope to see you there! The film screening started at 5 pm in Jarell Lecture Hall on UNCG’s Campus. Light Refreshments were served!
