A Place of Rage
U.S., 1991
This insightful documentary, one of Pratibha Parmar’s early features, delivers candid interviews with activists Angela Davis, June Jordan and Alice Walker where they talk through their experiences with the Civil Rights, Black Power, Feminist and LGBTQ+ movements. As they reassess key figures like Rosa Parks and Fannie Lou Hamer, the film offers essential perspectives from the 1990s culture wars that provide vital historical context for ongoing struggles for justice and equality.
DCP, color, 52 min. Director: Pratibha Parmar. With: Angela Davis, June Jordan, Alice Walker.
My Name Is Andrea
U.S., 2022
Pratibha Parmar’s My Name Is Andrea is a bold hybrid documentary reexamining the life and legacy of radical feminist Andrea Dworkin. Decades before #MeToo, Dworkin challenged sexism and rape culture with fearless urgency, shaped by values learned in the Civil Rights Movement. Blending rare archival footage with performances of Dworkin’s salient writing by Ashley Judd, Soko, Amandla Stenberg, Andrea Riseborough and Christine Lahti, Parmar crafts a rousing portrait of a brilliant yet misunderstood public intellectual whose searing call for justice still resonates powerfully today.
DCP, color, 91 min. Director/Screenwriter: Pratibha Parmar. With: Ashley Judd, Soko, Amandla Stenberg.
