Join us for a special FREE screening of "This Is Where I Learned Not to Sleep" to support Palomar, Oklahoma City’s Family Justice Center during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The event will take place on Tuesday, October 14th at Rodeo Cinema, located in Oklahoma City’s historic Stockyards District.
Part quest for justice. Part journey towards healing. In "This is Where I Learned Not To Sleep," decorated Nashville cop Mark Wynn wrestles with his own violent childhood while working to reform decades of domestic violence mishandling, cover-ups, and abuse from deep within law enforcement.
The evening features the film, a post-screening panel with Palomar representatives, domestic violence survivors, and law enforcement, plus a community raffle and fun giveaways. All proceeds help Palomar continue providing wraparound services to victims of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, stalking, elder abuse, and human trafficking.
Donations of $15 or more include free popcorn and an automatic raffle entry (redeem at check-in). The screening is free; donations are appreciated and directly support survivor services.
Arrive at 6PM for check-in, raffle tickets, and concessions! The screening begins at 7PM followed by the post-film panel.
