Does it surprise you to learn they’re all women?
A screening of the documentary film “Femme: Women Healing the World” will kick off the second International Women’s Festival Pacific Northwest, set for Friday night and all day Saturday at Clark College. Director Emmanuel Itier will be a special guest.
The film features conversations with 100 influential artists, teachers, authors and activists including Yoko Ono, Gloria Steinem, Marianne Williamson, Angela Davis and Sharon Stone, the film’s executive producer.
“This documentary is a celebration of women around the world actively transforming and healing our global society. We’re excited to share this extremely important message at a time when women’s marches are organizing globally and women’s issues” are so at stake, said Michelle Bart of the Vancouver-based National Women’s Coalition Against Violence and Exploitation. That’s this year’s beneficiary and local partner of the umbrella International Women’s Festival, an organization based in California.
