Greetings Planner Folk!
A friend of mine is hosting a movie screening about the severe issue of femicide in Guatemala,
which has accounted for the loss of over 2,000 womyn in Guatemala
since 1999.
Killer's Paradise, a film directed by Giselle Portenier, spent 3
months in Guatemala documenting the murders and disappearances of
womyn and their families. The families seek justice and answers but
are met with indifference, corruption, and threats, also known as
impunity.
The screening, hosted by Bringing the Circle Together: A Native
American Film Series, will feature Killer's Paradise, a short film:
Soleil, which is being presented for the first time to an audience.
There will also be an opening ceremony by Claudia Serrato Hernandez,
photography by Sandra Luna, Art by Timoi, and an altar honoring womyn
and children.
Please follow the links below to find out more. You can also tune into
Feminist Magazine tonight, April 8th at 7PM on KPFK 90.7 FM for a live
interview with event produce Ana Castillo of Chapina Unidas (if
