A collective portrait of feminist conversation now and forty years ago
From the filmmakers: “What might be revealed in the process of inviting strangers to act out and respond to 1970s feminism forty years later? Between 2015 and 2017, hundreds of strangers in communities all over the US were invited to read aloud and respond to letters from the 70s sent to the editor of Ms. Magazine–the first mainstream feminist magazine in the US. The intimate, provocative, and sometimes heartbreaking conversations that emerge from these spontaneous performances make us think critically about the past, present, and future of feminism. YOURS IN SISTERHOOD is a collective portrait of feminism now and forty years ago that is newly urgent in the aftermath of the 2016 election–a project about time travel, embodied listening, empathy, public discourse, and the lost art of letter writing.”
Local LGBTQ organizer Claudia Stallman is interviewed by filmmaker Irene Lusztig reading letters from her 17 year old self to Ms. Magazine. Stallman is the director of the Pride and Joy Families Project locally.
