Engaging the World

welcomes 

Richie Reseda, the titular subject of The Feminist on Cellblock Y, an American documentary directed by Contessa Gayles and co-produced with Emma Lacey-Bordeaux. 

The film follows a classroom of incarcerated men "as they wrestle with vulnerability and the confines of masculine norms through the lens of theorists such as bell hooks." Called Success Stories, the program is led by 25-year-old Richie Reseda. He teaches his fellow inmates about feminism and toxic masculinity at a Correctional Training Facility in California.
