Faces of Change: Documentary Screening and Discussion With Filmmaker
5:00 pm Thursday, January 24, 2008
Room 1015 FedEx Global Education Center, UNC Chapel Hill
The Carolina Women’s Center is pleased to present the North Carolina premiere of Faces of Change as part of the 27th Annual MLK Birthday Celebration. This powerful documentary features grassroots activists from different corners of the world who go behind the camera to find a voice denied to them because of their social, racial, gender, or ethnic background. Director Michele Stephenson armed five activists with cameras and sent them to explore their communities in Brazil, India, Mauritania, Bulgaria and the United States in preparation for the UN World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa. These unique video dispatches relay the stunning commonalities of their histories and experiences. Discussion with the filmmaker to follow.
