Join Turf Projects for a special screening of the newly digitised ‘A Place of Rage’ as part of ”The Work We Share‘.
Pratibha Parmar’s outstanding 1991 documentary combines the history of civil rights, Black power, LGBTQ+ rights, and the feminist movements, presenting filmmakers, writers, and activists June Jordan, Alice Walker, Trinh Th Minh Hà, and Angela Davis in their own words. This powerful film serves as a reminder that the struggles continue because of such leaders.
