Women Center Stage Screening with Tami Gold & Estela Bravo

3 Generations of Activist Women Filmmakers:

screening and discussion

Acclaimed filmmakers ESTELA BRAVO (Fidel; Holy Father; Gloria, Who Am I? The Found Children of Argentina) and TAMI GOLD (Every Mother's Son; Making a Killing) will screen award-winning documentaries about exploitation and resistance in Latin America. Emerging filmmaker, blogger, and activist KATIE HALPER (Embedded, La Memoria es Vaga), will host the event and screen the teaser of her new film.

Estela Bravo's CHILDREN IN DEBT shows the effects of Latin America's "external debt" to the U.S., focusing on its youngest victims in Argentina, Peru, Bolivia and Colombia.

Tami Gold's LAND, RAIN AND FIRE tells the story of the massive social movement in Oaxaca, Mexico that began as a teachers' strike for better wages and more student resources, focusing on the police attack on the morning of June 14, 2006 when more than 50,000 teachers were camped out with their children.

Katie Halper's ANOTHER CAMP IS POSSIBLE is a documentary about Camp Kinderland, the summer "camp with a conscience."

All 3 filmmakers have a connection with Kinderland, which for over 85 years has been helping to produce and advance outstanding progressive activists and artists.

After the screenings, Bravo and Gold will join Halper in a discussion about progressive culture, the spirit of Kinderland, women in film, and activist filmmaking.
