Join us on a year-long journey, or just for this month. Watch from our list of films that explore women’s agency and resistance in the Americas, then join us for a discussion led by Alyssa Bedrosian.
The month of March continues our year-long journey to learn about our world from the divergent stories that filmmakers of all walks bring to us. At the beginning of each month we'll release a list of films around a particular theme. You can watch one, two, or watch them all, it's up to you! At the end of the month, we'll converge for a discussion led by a person with lived experience that makes them knowledgeable about the theme. Register for this program to receive the film list by email and to get updates.
