Justice Across Borders

Across cultures, languages, and legal systems, one truth remains: justice can fail, and innocent lives are forever changed.

Justice Across Borders is a groundbreaking international film festival bringing together powerful cinematic stories from Taiwan and the United States to confront the global crisis of wrongful convictions.

In a unique collaboration between the Justice Initiative Center@ St. John's University, the Taiwan Innocence Project, and TheJeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice, this one-day event features a series of award-winning documentaries that delve into the lives of those who were failed by the justice system, and those fighting to restore truth, dignity, and freedom.

Each screening will be followed by a live Q&A with advocates, filmmakers, exonerees, and justice professionals, creating space for dialogue, learning, and connection across continents.
