Join us for a film series this spring that honors the capacity of women to burn down the world in various justifiable ways. Ever since the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements erupted, public figures such as Matt Lauer, Bill Cosby and Jeffrey Epstein have been exposed for their exploitation of women and girls. Many people—women especially—feel as though they are trapped in a continual state of rage and trauma. This film series is designed to remind us—and in many cases, celebrate—the myriad ways that women fight back against the hostile climate in which they live and work.
