SJSU Project Rebound presents
John Burris: Godfather of Police Litigation
This impactful documentary tells the story of one man’s crusade and the challenges he has faced to bring justice to victims of police misconduct and brutality around the country. John Burris, the Godfather, has devoted over thirty years of his accomplished life as a civil rights attorney to pioneer a field of law that has helped to create positive change within our society. His cases include the 1991 Rodney King against the LA Police dept, 2009 Oscar Grant against the Oakland BART Police, and the 2015 Mario Woods against the SF Police department.
This documentary will be followed by a Q+A with John Burris himself and the Director of the film, Doug Harris.
New Ballet presents
Fast Forward 2026
Enjoy a fast-paced evening of new contemporary ballet. Often described by the dancers as their favorite program of the season, Fast Forward provides the opportunity for emerging choreographers, both local and from around the country, to experiment. The chance to dance work that has been created specifically for them, rather than perhaps for dancers who performed hundreds of years ago, allows New Ballet’s Company Dancers to grow as artists and to be part of the creative process. Audiences will be thrilled and inspired watching choreographic and dance artists take risks and create.
