Award-winning filmmaker Darius Clark Monroe will screen and discuss the autobiographical account of his change from an honors student to a 16-year-old convicted bank robber tonight at International House Philadelphia (3701 Chestnut St.).

Evolution of a Criminal, which was featured on PBS earlier this year, recounts the story of a bank robbery by a group of Texas high school students, including Monroe himself. The film takes the audience back to his neighborhood and includes interviews that present the crime and its consequences from multiple aspects and raises profound questions about crime, the criminal justice system and redemption. Spike Lee is the film’s executive producer. A Q&A with Monroe will follow the film.

Tonight’s program is part of Scribe Video Center’s Producers’ Forum series. It also includes a screening of Stolen Dreams II:Breaking the Cycle of Youth Trauma, Violence & Imprisonment, a short film examining the transfer of juveniles into the adult system as a response to youth crime. The film grew out of the Youth Art and Self Empowerment Project (YASP).

The program starts at 7 p.m. and tickets ($10/$7 for students and seniors) are available online or at the IHP Box Office.
