Trailer “Mountains That Take Wing” (Conversations b/w Angela Davis & Yuri Kochiyama)
Just showed up on my radar, courtesy of Racialicious. The documentary features conversations between two formidable women who dedicated their lives to civil rights struggles in the US. Scholar/activist, Angela Davis, and Yuri Kochiyama, a revered grassroots community activist and 2005 Nobel Peace Prize nominee. Offering critical lessons, topics discussed include the role of women in social movements of the 20th century, community empowerment, the prison industrial complex, war and the cultural arts.
The award-winning film debuted at the San Francisco Black Film Festival this June (according to IMDB), and has been screening around the country since then, with its first non-US play-date happening next month, in South Africa.
