“Femicide at Our U.S. Border: To Be a Woman in Juarez is a Death Sentence”
The border town of Juarez, Mexico has been nicknamed “The Capital of Murdered Women” because more than 400 women have been found raped, mutilated and murdered. Almost of all of these women worked in American owned factories, all created by NAFTA. Barbara Martinez Jitner’s lecture gives a moving and personal look at the crippling poverty and gender discrimination that has made NAFTA’s “expendable workforce” - expendable human beings. Working with Amnesty International and superstar Jennifer Lopez, Barbara will outline steps that will empower listeners so they may stop the femicide that is occurring only 50 yards away from the United States.

“Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin” Documentary Film

BROTHER OUTSIDER takes a multifaceted approach to the material, reflecting the complexity of Rustin’s story. This feature-length portrait unfolds both chronologically and thematically, using interviews and traditional documentary techniques, as well as experimental approaches. The work of Marlon Riggs and the pastiche quality of his groundbreaking documentaries have inspired the production team. The historical aspects of the piece are based on meticulous primary research in the Rustin papers and other archives, and will incorporate elements such as archival footage, stills, posters and broadsheets, government propaganda films, paintings, and other cultural artifacts.
