Things I Like. Documentary Recommendations. Your Very Own Gender Studies Degree

the continuously fractured life

all things broken and whole.

These are some of the things I write, observe, and believe. I live in Chicago.

I am interested in the truth.

Previous blogs about faith, justice, and living in under-resourced neighborhoods can be found here.

I work with pregnant and parenting teens and am getting a Master's degree in Women's and Gender Studies.

I love to talk about it. A lot.

    Documentary Recommendation 20.

    Black Power Mistape (1967-1975). A film created by a Swedish documentary crew about the Black Power movement in the U.S. between 1967 and 1975. It’s a brilliant and truthful conversation, especially the Angela Davis interview at around the 1-hour mark. This film gives a timely breakdown on the connections between violence, non-violence, drugs, war, revolutionaries, wealth, religion, race, and poverty through the eyes of outsiders (Swedes) and insiders (black revolutionaries and allies, both past and present).
