The Way Home |
|
by Shakti Butler
The Way Home shows what happened when eight ethnic councils of women came
together to talk honestly about race, gender and class in the US The result
is an unpredictable collection of stories that reveal the far-reaching
effects of social oppression and present an inspiring picture of women
moving beyond the duality of black and white.
Over the course of eight months, sixty-four women, representing a
cross-section of cultures in the US, met in councils separated by
ethnicity-Indigenous, Asian, European, African, Arab, Jewish, Latina and
Multiracial.
Their candid conversations offer rare access into multidimensional cultural
worlds mostly invisible to outsiders. With uncommon courage, the women speak
their hearts and minds about resistance, love, assimilation, beauty
standards, power, school experiences, and more. Woven throughout are
collages of historical and family photos, dance sequences, visual images,
and music from over twenty cultures all of which expand the impact of the
women's words. (92 minutes)
