In the Name of Forgotten Women
With post-film discussion with writer/producer Cindy Williams Gutiérrez in-person
In the Name of Forgotten Women bears witness to the global oppression of women and testifies to their resilience. Inspired by real-life incidents in over 15 countries, this dramatic work features the individual and collective voices of seven diverse women, culminating in a powerful call to action. Dramatizing poetry with music, movement, ritual, and projection, this dynamic “choreopoem” is, in essence, a ceremony to restore the Feminine in the world. In the Name of Forgotten Womenis a two-act play, filmed live for cinema presentation, that is both a beautiful work of art and an eye-opening education.
