On February 12, Ilia Chavchavadze Center held another movie screening and discussion on the issues of citizenship and justice. Within the framework of the project “youth of Justice”, Sidney Lumet’s classic “12 Angry Men” (1957) was shown in Tsagveri. The project is led by the founder of the Chavchavadze Center, lawyer, and publicist, Zaza Bibilashvili. The screening was followed by a lively discussion with guest speaker Giorgi Antadze.

The discussion included topics as it follows: citizenship and individual responsibility, types of leaders in the modern-day World;the higher sentence for Crime and punishment (death penalty);institute of Jurors. Another interesting angle for discussion was focused on the Soviet past and Georgia’s years of Independence. In this regard, speakers spoke about the first Constitution (which turns 100 years in a few days) and women’s rights.

The Center expresses special thanks to public school students and teachers in Tsagveri for collaboration and active engagement.
