"Nnaji's film is a compelling and timely portrayal of the discrimination that black feminists endured during the American civil rights struggle..."
Feminist Perspektiv
This June is the 50th Anniversary of Freedom Summer, marking a critical time to re-examine the role that black women played in the civil rights movement, and struggles for equality and liberation during the 1960s and 70s. This timely, feature-length documentary unearths the story of black women's political marginalization-between the male-dominated Black Power movement and second wave feminism.
Archival footage and in-depth interviews with former members of organizations including Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and the Black Panther Party reveal how black women mobilized, fought for recognition, and raised awareness of how sexism and class issues affected women of color within and outside The Black Power Movement and mainstream feminism. Prominently featured activists include Frances Beale, Angela Davis, Kola Boof, Nikki Giovanni, Rosemari Mealy, Judy Richardson, Gwendolyn Simmons, Deborah Singletary, and Eugenia Wiltshire. Required viewing for Women's Studies, African American Studies, and students of the Civil Rights Movement.
