Take Two + Women's History Month

Monday, March 12, 2012

Definitely a good thing. Get down if you can make it.

Take Two

For Women's History Month, Take Two presents two searing documentary dramas in which Sembaru and Iraqi women turn mass depredation into brash jubilation. Come have a drink with us and be a part of this unique all-women program! (Well, there is a man, but he's a doll...)

Artists and activists meet, talk and get slightly tipsy together.

Iraqi-American writer/actress Heather Raffo lifts the veil on the impact of the Gulf War, in this poetic piece derived from the poignant, perceptive and profound stories of nine Iraqi women. With Jessica Arinella, Francis Benhamou, Anita Keal, Robin LeMon and Matthew Rashid.
