Justice Productions creates documentary films
on social
justice themes. Our vision is the
exploration of
real-world issues in all
fairness with fairness to all.
Over the past decade we produced and screened a
compelling trilogy of documentaries that journey into
the heart of what makes
us human by examining acts
of violence and crime, the judicial system,
punishment, forgiveness and healing.
Justice Productions’ documentaries are available for
community outreach work to
encourage a continuing dialogue on issues important
to
humankind.
Based
in Bridgehampton, Long Island, New York, the award-winning filmmaking team of
Jacqui Lofaro and Victor Teich, produced/directed “The Empty Chair:
Death Penalty Yes or No,” the recipient of the 2006
prestigious Thurgood Marshall Broadcast Journalism Award. The film aired on
national television on the Hallmark Channel’s World of Faith and Values.
A companion documentary
sequel “70 x 7: the Forgiveness Equation”
completed in 2008, tells how two families challenge our rock-hard beliefs as
they share the force for revenge or forgiveness in the face of unspeakable
horror and grief from murder and terrorism. It has been invited for screening at the National Coalition
Against the Death Penalty, the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, and the
Global Peace Film Festival.
In 2009, we premiered a feature documentary on drug addiction, a problem of epic proportion. “The Last Fix: An Addict’s Passage from Hell to
Hope” follows addicts
from lives of crime into pioneering drug courts as alternatives to prison.
