Filmmaker Nancy Schwartzman presents THE LINE, a film about ending sexual violence
On February 23, 2012, Nancy Schwartzman will present her
critically acclaimed short film, THE LINE and its
companion
media campaign to empower young leaders to end sexual
violence.
The is the first event in the spring series, Health in Film &
New
Media, being held at the Center for Health, Media & Policy.
THE LINE is a documentary about a young woman –
the
filmmaker- who is raped, but her story isn't cut and dry.
Not a
"perfect victim," the filmmaker confronts her attacker,
recording
the conversation with a hidden camera. Sex workers,
survivors
and activists discuss justice, accountability and today's
"rape
culture." The film asks the question: where is the line defining
consent?
Nancy's WHERE IS YOUR LINE CAMPAIGN believes that
documentary films can create social change, with the right
partners and the right platforms. WHERE IS YOUR LINE is a
non-profit organization and movement that is committed to
empowering young leaders to create a world without sexual
violence. Nancy will show us how the campaign is creating
critical dialogues and new media to inspire action.
Join us for a fascinating and thought-provoking evening!
