On April 30 in Charleston and May 7 in Columbia, hundreds gathered for the premiere of Turning Point, a documentary that tells the raw, real story of Turn90 and the men rebuilding their lives after incarceration.
Hosted at Charleston Music Hall and The Nickelodeon Theatre, each screening was more than just a film screening—it was a moment. A moment to celebrate the power of second chances. A moment to see the humanity behind the statistics. And a moment to believe, once again, that change is not only possible—it’s already happening.
Guests were welcomed with light bites and warm conversation before taking their seats for the :55 minute film. Turning Point, a production of Susie Films in association with SCETV and the ETV Endowment, shines a light on the day-to-day work of Turn90—and more importantly, the people at the center of it. Men who have overcome, persevered, and are now leading the way.
Before each screening, we heard powerful opening remarks from Adrienne Fairwell, Aundreana Hunter, and Dr. Stephanie Cook of SCETV, whose leadership and vision helped bring this story to life.
Following the film, a thoughtful panel discussion pulled back the curtain on what it takes to launch and sustain a reentry program like Turn90 and why this work matters more than ever.
