Kick-off Women’s History Month at Intercultural Intersections with What I Want My Words to Do to You, a film about a writing workshop held at a women’s prison. The film will be at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 9, in the Hodges Library Auditorium and is free and open to the public.
The film goes inside a writing workshop led by playwright and activist Eve Ensler, consisting of 15 women, most of whom were convicted of murder. Through a series of exercises and discussions, the women delve into their pasts and explore the nature of their crimes and the extent of their own culpability. The film culminates in an emotionally charged prison performance of the women’s writing by acclaimed actors Mary Alice, Glenn Close, Hazelle Goodman, Rosie Perez and Marisa Tomei.
