Movie Reviews of V-Day - Until the Violence Stops
Movie Review: The power of synergy to affect change
Summary: 5 Stars
I attended the Vagina Monologues the first time it came to town around 2002. I brought an older woman friend with me as her birthday gift. We laughed, we cried, we were moved, we were changed. I felt empowered, despite the fact I was already vocal about women's issues prior to that.
Now, I have just watched the VDAY video and was moved even more. It touches on many issues, venues, and countries with moving snippets. I would have liked to see even more of the Vagina Monologues, but can't complain after seeing so much more overall, than I expected. Great pieces on Agnes who runs the safehouse for FGM refugees and the women of Afghanistan, to name a few.
Nothing should be left behind, so the special features need to be viewed as well. This DVD should be required viewing for all high school students in order to break the cycle of violence against women, before it can continue.
Thank you Eve Ensler for speaking on women's behalf and creating the synergy to affect change.
Summary of V-Day - Until the Violence Stops
Extraordinarily empowering and heartbreakingly funny, the Sundance favorite V-DAY: UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS chronicles how Eve Ensler's hit Broadway solo show The Vagina Monologues grew into V-Day, an international grassroots movement to stop violence against women and girls. The first of its kind, The Vagina Monologues has been widely recognized as "a celebration of women's sexuality and a condemnation of its violation" (The New York Times) and praised as "frank, humorous and moving" (Chicago Tribune). Over eight hundred cities around the world have participated in V-Day by staging benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues. From locales as diverse as New York, the Phillippines and Kenya, director Abby Epstein's UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS features emotionally charged interviews and readings by everyday and celebrity women (including Rosie Perez, Salma Hayek, Rosario Dawson, Jane Fonda and LisaGay Hamilton), all of whom courageously reveal their intimate experiences and bond together to break the silence that surrounds abuse. More than just a group testimonial, UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS is a moving celebration of community awareness that leaves us with the hope that change can happen.
