Since Low Cut Connie's debut record Get Out the Lotion (NPR’s Fresh Air Top 10 albums of 2011), they’ve firmly established their reputation as one of the most exciting live shows in the US, with Greg Kot (Sound Opinions / Chicago Tribune) exclaiming they are “the essence of what rock n roll should be” and The New York Times stating, “Low Cut Connie’s word-of-mouth legend is built on live shows like this one.”

Safe Harbor Crisis Center hosting a screening of I am Evidence. This screening is in partnership with Centerpoint Legacy Theater, supported by our friends at the Coldwell Banker Foundation and the Utah Sexual Assault Kit Initiative as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) 2019.

No ticket needed to attend. Suggested Donation is $10.00. All donations will help support Safe Harbor's free and confidential services for survivors of sexual assault.
I Am Evidence is an acclaimed HBO documentary that exposes the alarming number of untested rape kits in the United States through a character–driven narrative, bringing much needed attention to the disturbing pattern of how the criminal justice system has historically treated sexual assault survivors.
Why is there a rape kit backlog? What can we do to fix the problem? This film explores these questions through survivors’ experiences as they trace the fates of their kits and re-engage in the criminal justice process. I AM EVIDENCE illuminates how the system has impeded justice while also highlighting those who are leading the charge to work through the backlog and pursue long-awaited justice in these cases.
Stick around after the film for a Q&A panel discussion with local experts and advocates involved in addressing the current backlog in Utah. Learn what we can do locally to help survivors receive the support they need to heal and find hope, and to ensure perpetrators are held accountable for their crimes.

The Mt. Everest Peace climb took place just before the end of the Cold War. It was the first expedition to include climbers from the USA, China and Soviet Union and was a symbol of how traditionally antagonistic countries could work together. This climb was done without Sherpa support. During their trip, they removed over 2 tons of trash and equipment eft by previous climbing expeditions, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Earth day.
Proceeds from the event will be used to send Utah students to Washington D.C. where they will learn how to lobby members of Congress to support Carbon Fee and Dividend policies that would drastically reduce carbon emissions.
