Our film "Survival, Strength, Sisterhood: Power of Women in the DTES" Last year I had the honour of co-creating a film that documents the history of the annual women's memorial march for missing and murdered women and the stories of resilience of women living in the Downtown Eastside. We never imagined the powerful response to our humble one-month effort. Given the time of year, we are receiving numerous requests to screen the film with fifteen screenings across these lands in the next two weeks. The film is available for free HD download once you log in to vimeo. We are unfortunately all out of DVD's. ********************************************************************* Watch or download the full film online and share this link with others: http://vimeo.com/19877895 ********************************************************************* "A short and powerful film" Incite Women of Color Against Violence "Survival, Strength, Sisterhood: Power of Women in the Downtown Eastside is a must view" Artthreat "Co-creators Alejandro Zuluaga and Harsha Walia have produced a doc that earnestly explores the realities of women organizing for justice as seen through their own eyes and described in their own voices."
