About the Film Series:===================
Too often the roles of Global South women in struggles for economic
and social justice are ignored. Or they are mentioned in passing,
without a full look at the richness of their experiences, and lessons
they offer us all.
* What can we learn from women's contributions?
* Why does colonization depend on sexism?
* What can Global South women teach us about how racism, patriarchy, & imperialism work, that we might otherwise miss?
