GIRL UNSCRIPTED
Family, love, heartbreak, opportunity, poverty, abuse, drugs...the life of a girl is complicated, and they frequently have no means of expressing themselves, or worse, no one who'll listen. Relating to these struggles of teenage girls, award-winning filmmaker Tara Veneruso took this to heart and started a filmmaking camp for girls- giving them the opportunity to express themselves and tell their stories. This documentary series spans more than10 years where we see teenagers/pre-teens transform into full grown women; a fascinating chance to experience life through the eyes of open and brave girls. The accounts the filmmaker documents are raw, touching, sad, and hopeful. The trials and triumphs of a person's life in her own words...a "Girl Unscripted."
WE HAVE JUST BEGUN
WE HAVE JUST BEGUN
Uncovering the deadliest racial massacre in American history
In 1919, black workers' decades-long efforts to challenge exploitation in the Arkansas Delta culminated in the nation's deadliest racial massacre and labor battle. During the Red Summer of 1919, a series of 36 race and labor riots throughout the US erupted during a period of war demobilization. Prompted by black efforts to organize their collective labor power to increase their share, white mobs, police, and federal troops brutally murdered hundreds of black men, women, and children.
WE HAVE JUST BEGUN brings together recent evidence, community testimony, and historical studies to create a comprehensive portrait of a pivotal sequence in Arkansas / American civil rights and labor history. With a hard look at the legacy of “slavery by other means” in the Arkansas Delta, we see how it has been resisted and how the spirit of resistance was kept alive in Delta music and culture.
