NO! THE RAPE DOCUMENTARY
​About the film: Producer, writer, and director Aishah Shahidah Simmons a survivor of an incest and rape, has been working internationally in grassroots and mainstream movements to raise “awareness about rape, sexual assault, and other forms of violence against women; and the critical non-negotiable need to end it.” Simmons has thoughtfully gathered a combination of intimate testimonies from African-American women victims and survivors; commentaries from acclaimed African-American scholars and community leaders; and a compilation of archival footage, including music, dance, and performance poetry. NO! The RapeDocumentary unveils the reality of rape, other forms of sexual violence, and healing processes within African-American communities.
This event is free & open to the public! Refreshments will be served!
