In the last few weeks, we have been pleased to be able to share Aishah Shahidah Simmons' documentary "NO!" with at least 40-50 friends in two separate showings -- we added a second showing in response to the many requests we received by people who were unable to attend the first. (Click here to read our original invitation to this event.) Both showings stimulated intense and provocative discussion on the ever-present problem of abuse against women. Though the documentary is centered on the African-American experience, participants, both men and women, from a wide variety of backgrounds responded to the essence of the film's message, reflecting on similar problems within their own cultural milieu.
We have posted photos of both the first showing and the second showing, which you can view by clicking on the links.
We also encourage you to visit the film website at http://www.notherapedocumentary.org/ and to sign the NO! guestbook. If you were unable to see the film this time, please let us know as we are happy to schedule repeat showings.
