SPECIAL 25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION of
A PLACE OF RAGE
The release of A PLACE OF RAGE (1991) was a groundbreaking moment. Featuring essential interviews with Angela Davis, June Jordan and Alice Walker, the film captured the idea of "intersectionaility" long before it became part of our lexicon. Within the context of civil rights, racial and social justice, Black power and feminist movements, the trio reassess how African-American women such as Rosa Parks and Fannie Lou Hamer revolutionized American society. In celebration of A PLACE OF RAGE's approaching 25th anniversary, this special edition DVD features new bonus material - a never before seen interview with scholar, icon and activist Angela Davis, and the late author and poet June Jordan reading her powerful piece A Poem About My Rights.
Praise for A PLACE OF RAGE:
"I've been showing A PLACE OF RAGE in my classes on race, gender and sexuality in U.S. history for over a decade, and it always has a powerful impact... The film makes a powerful case for the central place of African American women in creating a broadly imagined social justice movement--the kind of movement we need now, as desperately as ever."
Lisa Duggan, Professor, American Studies and Gender and Sexuality Studies, Dept of Social and Cultural Analysis, New York University
"It is one of the most teachable films I know...The sheer historicity of the film make this a treasure trove for all current generation of students who have increasingly become distant from Civil Rights...it is the only film that locates feminists of color within a broader understanding of our politics."
Sivagami Subbaraman, Director, LGBTQ Resource Center, Georgetown University
