| | Description | When a courageous young woman and a radical lawyer discover a pattern of illegal sterilizations in California’s women’s prisons, they wage a near-impossible battle against the Department of Corrections. With a growing team of investigators inside prison working with colleagues on the outside, they uncover a series of statewide crimes - from inadequate health care to sexual assault to coercive sterilizations - primarily targeting women of color. This shocking legal drama captured over 7-years features extraordinary access and intimate accounts from currently and formerly incarcerated people, demanding attention to a shameful and ongoing legacy of eugenics and reproductive injustice in the United States. Please join us for this special screening of The Belly of the Beast on February 1 from 6:30 - 8:00. Please note, registration is required. NOTE: This is the film screening only. Hear from Kelli Dillon and Cynthia Chandler, protagonists of the powerful 2020 documentary, Belly of the Beast (dir. Erika Cohn). Moderated by UW Tacoma professor Emily Thuma on February 3 from 6:30 - 7:30pm. You can register for the panel conversation here. Additionally, the film will be available for individual screening from January 29 – February 5, details TBD. |
