On November 18th, Shuja will be visiting State Correctional Institution — Phoenix to screen Walkies Episode 3 to incarcerated individuals. A longtime goal of the Walkies team, this event marks the first official screening of Walkies inside of a penitentiary.

On Saturday, January 16th at 3:00pm EST, you’re invited to join the African American Museum in Philadelphia for a special virtual screening and third episode premiere Walkies.

This timely and transformational docuseries, hosted by Shuja Moore, focuses on the true-life stories of individuals from our region -- chronicling their experiences with the criminal justice system, and their pathways through redemptive justice, self reflection, and transformation. This special premiere screening includes a conversation with Moore, the Walkies production team, and Sydia Bagley, the subject of the upcoming episode.

Sydia Bagley is a mother, entrepreneur, and returning citizen. In this episode, she shares the trauma of her past, how she ended up in prison, and finding success through her passions.

In December 2020, Eastern State Penitentiary hosted a discussion with Shuja Moore, creator and executive producer of the docuseries “Walkies” alongside Sydia Bagley, founder and CEO of Locked Down Love, a community-based program aiding returning citizens. In this webinar, they discussed the creation and production of “Walkies” and viewed clips from past and upcoming episodes.

On May 7th 2020, the Walkies Team hosted a virtual screening for the premiere of Episode 2. This episode tells the story of Kareem “Solo” Shamsiddeen, a south Philly native, who got caught up in crime from an early age. Solo shares how after serving two prison sentences, he was able to transform himself to a life helping others.

The screening included an introduction by the Walkies team and finished off with a Q&A with Solo himself.
