Stolen Dreams I: The Impacts of Trying and Locking Up Young People as Adults

Our first "Stolen Dreams" film features the stories of young people who founded YASP, and their experiences being in adult jail and coming home from the adult system. It also includes interviews with young people in one of the city's adult jails, as well as judges, teachers, and social workers who work directly with youth who are charged as adults.

Stolen Dreams II: Breaking the Cycle of Youth Trauma, Violence & Imprisonment

"Stolen Dreams II" takes you into the community and talks about the violence that's going on and how we can find better ways to deal with youth violence instead of locking young people away, which causes worse problems. The film includes powerful motivational speakers, including YASP staff and allies.
