SYNOPSIS
PRESS
"A complex image is created of the times, its ideas, emotions, victories and losses...the kind of analysis historical documentaries on African American life sorely need."
"**** Excellent."
“…the film makes a powerful case for the central place in African American women in creating a broadly imagined social justice movement - the kind of movement we need now, as desperately as ever.”
“It’s one of the most teachable films I know….The Film captures in powerful and passionate ways the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, class and ability in ways that few films do.
