The final event of its winter season, join Movies That Matter for a screening and Q&A with director Johanna Demetrakas. In 1977, a book of photographs captured an awakening—women shedding the cultural restrictions of their childhoods and embracing their full humanity. Revisiting those photos and those times, this film takes aim at our current culture revealing all too vividly the urgent need for continued change. All seating is first come, first served, and all proceeds go towards the Campus Food Bank.
