MORE ABOUT THE FILM
RELATED FILMS |
The Way Home shows what happened when eight ethnic councils of women came together to talk honestly about race, gender and class in the US The result is an unpredictable collection of stories that reveal the far-reaching effects of social oppression and present an inspiring picture of women moving beyond the duality of black and white. Over the course of eight months, sixty-four women, representing a cross-section of cultures in the US, met in councils separated by ethnicity-Indigenous, Asian, European, African, Arab, Jewish, Latina and Multiracial. Their candid conversations offer rare access into multidimensional cultural worlds mostly invisible to outsiders. With uncommon courage, the women speak their hearts and minds about resistance, love, assimilation, beauty standards, power, school experiences, and more. Woven throughout are collages of historical and family photos, dance sequences, visual images, and music from over twenty cultures all of which expand the impact of the women's words. Appropriate for:
92 minutes • VHS

REVIEWS Lisa Coffey MahoneyContra Costa Times full review "This film offers us a rare opportunity to listen, to learn, and more importantly to hope for our future generations." "THE WAY HOME is a fountain of healing truths...living proof that there are no important issues facing humanity that we can afford to tackle without the centrality of women's leadership." "This [film] goes beyond a basic awareness of racism to explore the subtle, rarely acknowledged roots of self-hatred and lack of understanding among even the most progressive people."
