The Stranger Suggests
Film and Q&A
'The Trials of Darryl Hunt' at Varsity
Darryl Hunt was convicted of a crime he didn't commit—raping and murdering a white woman—and spent two decades behind bars. Even when DNA evidence proved he wasn't guilty, the racist men and women of the racist court system kept him behind bars. The last time the film screened in Seattle, The Stranger exclaimed: "Every American should see this film." Tonight's screening is followed by a Q&A and reception with Darryl Hunt and his attorneys, thrown by the Innocence Project Northwest. (Varsity, 4329 University Way NE. 7 pm, $25–$50.)

DJ Vadim at Nectar
Born in Russia and raised in the UK, DJ Vadim came to fame in the dead middle of the '90s. He—along with DJ Krush (Japan), DJ Shadow (USA), and DJ Cam (France)—launched the "abstract era," a period that valued the beats more than the rapper. Vadim currently lives in Brooklyn and is the founder of One Self, his most successful project since the '90s. One Self, which has three principal members, makes hiphop for those "who think very deeply." (Nectar, 412 N 36th St, 632-2020. 8 pm, $10, 21+.)
