Documentary Screening of "Command Center to Bring Women Home"

March 26, 2:40 to 4:10 p.m. | Bonnell Building, Large Auditorium

Through a collaborative writing process with filmmakers, three women bring to life “The Command Center to Bring Women Home,” an imagined space run by formerly incarcerated women for those with nowhere else to turn but to each other, a place where mothers can reunite and heal with their children, and women are able to hold and comfort one another. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with the three formerly incarcerated women featured in the film, and a poetry workshop facilitated by Trapeta B. Mason. Filmmaker and producer Wren Rene will be joining us for the screening.

Counseling staff will be present to support any students in need. There will also be tables set up to circulate information about campus resources and community organizations whose work touches on incarceration.

Documentary Screening of "Tiny Movements"

March 26, 6 to 7:30 p.m. | Winnet Student Life Building, Room S2-03

Tiny Movements is a short documentary about Jenn Green, a professionally trained modern dancer and mother of two, who discovered video recordings of her husband raping her after he had drugged her with high doses of Ambien. The videos' time stamps reflect that the abuse had been going on for over four years. As in many instances of domestic/intimate partner violence, it took Jenn an extended amount of time to organize extricating her children, and herself. Once they were out, step by step, with incredible community support, Jenn took the initiative to seek an order of protection. Once in a safe space, she began a daily practice of dancing in her kitchen, calling on her years of movement training and practice to create space for healing. This documentary is the telling of the story of her creation of Tiny Kitchen Dances project, her healing as she navigates the ongoing legal battle to protect herself and her children, the journey to hold her abuser accountable within the legal justice system, and moving forward as she works to rebuild her chosen life. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the documentary's producer.
