Highlander Center

A celebration of the contributions of prominent African American women, the film features the context of civil rights, Black power, lesbian and gay rights and the feminist movement, with the trio reassessing how women revolutionized American society and the world.

"A Place of Rage" is an exuberant award-winning documentary film by Pratibha Parmar which made its debut in 1991, yet its content is still one of the richest and most cherished, including rare interviews with Angela Davis, June Jordan and Alice Walker.
