Halim Flowers is a Washington, DC-based artist, writer and activist who at the age of 16, was charged as an adult for being an accomplice to a felony murder with a sentence of 40 years to life in prison. His experience was filmed in the Emmy award-winning documentary "Thug Life In DC." While incarcerated, he co-founded the social entrepreneurial media production company Unchained Media Collective to tell the stories of those who are directly impacted by the criminal justice system. A year later, he was released after successfully petitioning for resentencing after 22 years. Since his release, he has worked with Kim Kardashian on her documentary "The Justice Project," received the Halcyon Arts Lab and Echoing Green fellowships and spoken on panels around the country about the impact of the arts and entrepreneurship to correct our criminal justice system.
