Solidarity Film Series Spring 2012
"A Moment in Her Story" Saturday On Saturday, April 28, at 7:30 PM, the Solidarity Committee continues its film series with a free showing of "A Moment in Her Story" (2012, 90 minutes). Starting in the late 1960s and continuing into the 1970s, as the Second Wave of feminism spread across the United States, it called for dramatically expanded possibilities for women of all races and classes. This new documentary, shown in Albany by special arrangement with its director, chronicles the Boston women’s movement. Composed of students, professionals, community activists, and working class mothers, the Boston movement -- a particularly lively one -- demanded fundamental changes in American life. Indeed, “A Moment in Her Story” attests to the movement’s transforming energy, creativity, and determination. A post-film discussion will be led by Barbara Smith -- Albany Common Council member, community activist, author, and key participant in the Boston movement. The film showing -- co-sponsored by Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace and Upper Hudson Peace Action -- will take place in Emerson Hall of the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany, located across the street from the downtown SUNY campus, on Washington Avenue. Admission is free, and free refreshments will be provided by the Honest Weight Food Co-op.
