MEET FILMMAKER & PRODUCER DR. SHAKTI BUTLER: “THE WAY HOME”
Tuesday, April 14th
2:30 5:30 p.m.
E156 Student Union
Meet filmmaker and producer Dr. Shakti Butler as she presents her film "The Way Home" and leads discussion. A professional and personal development experience not to be missed by those who care about race and gender!
About the film:
Over the course of eight months, sixty-four women representing a cross-section of cultures, (Indigenous, African-American, Arab, Asian, European-American, Jewish, Latina, and Multiracial) came together to share their experience of racism in America.
With uncommon courage, the women speak their hearts and minds about resistance, love, assimilation, standards of beauty, power, school experiences, and more. Their candid conversations offer rare access into multi-dimensional worlds invisible to outsiders. The abundance of photographs, dance, and music provides a sensual richness to this provocative piece.
Sponsored as part of WSU's Quest Across Campus week by: the Student Affairs Diversity Committee; the Bias Incident Response ; UDAC -Academic Affairs; Women's Center; Women's Studies Program; Student Government; and University Libraries.
For more information contact one of the above groups/ offices.
