Juvenile Court
2025-11-09 19:00 | BAMPFA, 2155 Center St, Berkeley, CA, 94704, United States
Even-mannered Judge Kenneth Turner presides over the local juvenile court in Memphis, Tennessee, in this exploration of troubled youth confronted by American justice. That particular brand of justice is often dispensed via backroom dealmaking, mediated by a formula of religious and psychological prescription. Judge Turner gets the most screen time, but the stars here are the children, adolescents, and parents, as the weight of the state bears down upon them. “They’re trapped by everything. Frederick Wiseman’s open-eyed approach to the stories of their lives is perhaps motivated less by reforming zeal than by his own sense of the mystery of those lives” (Pauline Kael, New Yorker).

Senator Joe Manchin

U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) was sworn into the United States Senate on November 15, 2010. For Senator Manchin, serving as West Virginia’s Senator was truly an honor and a privilege.
Born and raised in the small coal mining town of Farmington, W.Va., Sen. Manchin grew up learning the values that all West Virginians share — family, common sense, fairness, and hard work. As a small businessman, he learned firsthand from his grandfather, Papa Joe, who was an Italian immigrant and the town grocer, the importance of serving the public. As a young man, his beloved grandmother, Mama Kay, inspired Senator Manchin’s belief in public service through her unflagging compassion and desire to help those less fortunate.
