Lives of female prisoners on focus of Young's latest docu

By Ernie Suggs, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Nov 23, 2011

Ambassador and former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young and The Andrew Young School of Policy Studies will host a special screening of Young's latest documentary "Harmony in Hard Time" at 3 p.m. Monday in the Georgia State University's Speakers Auditorium, 44 Courtland St.

The film documents the lives and aspirations of female inmates in Georgia's Lee Arrendale State Prison in Habersham County, near Alto. Since 2005, it has been exclusively a women's prison.

Young will lead a question and answer session following the screening.
