Tami Gold, 2011, USA, color, sound, 57 min.
PASSIONATE POLITICS brings Charlotte's story to life, from idealistic young civil rights organizer to lesbian separatist/activist to internationally-recognized leader of a campaign to put women's rights, front and center, on the global human rights agenda. Charlotte has been both a product and creator of her times: every chapter in her life is a chapter in the story of modern feminist activism, from its roots in the 1960s struggles for social justice to international campaigns against global gender-based violence today.
Following the screening Charlotte Bunch, along with director/producer Tami Gold, and co-producer David Pavlosky will be on hand to discuss the film.
