Who Does She Think She Is? - Documentary Film Screening

MACLA

March 21, 2009

Add Review/Comment

In a half-changed world, women often feel they need to choose: mothering or working? Who Does She Think She Is?, a documentary by Academy Award winning filmmaker Pamela Tanner Boll, features five fierce women who refuse to choose. Through their lives, the film explores some of the most problematic intersections of our time: mothering and creativity, partnering and independence, economics and art.

The screening will be combined with a live performance in partnership with the Billy DeFrank LGBTQ center in which youth explore what it means to be "out" in society and broaden the meaning of their cultural, gender and sexual identities as LGBTQ.

    I am a spoken word artist who has never slammed. I saw the movie, though. I've never been. I hope to come down soon and rep the scene!

    Nga mihi aroha no nga iwi maori o Aotearoa. E te rangatira, e te kairaranga purakau, e te hoa, tena koe! Vincent - I was privileged enough to see your work, and to meet you in Wairoa, Aotearoa NZ a number of years ago at the Inaugural Indigenous Film Festival. Thank you for such a powerful statement. I had to stand and acknowledge the deep-felt emotion that your work invoked in me. This was the right way for me to talk to you, brother to brother, through whaikorero. As well, seeing Ron His Horse is Thunder reminded me of the healing powers of the descendants of those who suffered way back then. He reminded me of how men of today need to talk to the men of tomorrow and teach them the ways of the old people. He embodied the spirit of his tipuna, Sitting Bull. My aroha goes to you both, and to our tipuna who have already walked their trail of tears. Collapse
