What I Want my Words to Do to You

Wednesday, February 25, 2009
7 p.m.

The Vagina Warriors and Women's Resource Center showcase a film that "offers an unprecedented look into the minds and hearts of the women inmates of New York's Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. 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. This culminates into an emotionally charged prison performance of the women's writing. The film documents both the wrenching personal journeys undertaken by the inmates to find the words that tell their own stories, and the power of those words to move the outside world."
