First, on February 25th at 7pm is She's Beautiful When She's Angry, an award-winning documentary about the birth of the women's lib movement from 1966 to 1971. Combining dramatizations, performance and archival imagery, the film brings to life the stories of women who fought for their own equality and in the process created a worldwide revolution. The film doesn't shy away from the controversies over race, sexual preference and leadership that arose in the movement.
Following the screening, there will be a conversation with representatives from the Women’s Center of Greater Danbury. Tickets cost $15 for adults and $10 for students.
