Viewing and Discussion of Anita Hill: Speaking Truth to Power
Screening of documentary that chronicles Anita Hill’s groundbreaking sexual harassment testimony, followed by a speak out, August 5, 2014 at Loyola University
Twenty-three years ago, one woman’s raw, courageous testimony about being sexually harassed by Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas shook the world. Academy Award-winning filmmaker Freida Mock tells the story of that testimony in her new documentary Anita: Speaking Truth to Power, which chronicles how Anita Hill’s case emboldened millions of women to tell the truth and ushered in major changes in sexual harassment policy and female representation in politics. Women Employed will host a viewing of this documentary followed by a speak out during which audience members can share their reactions about this important issue—which is still all too timely today.
The event will take place Tuesday, August 5th, 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., at Loyola University, 25 E. Pearson St., Chicago, IL. The event includes a networking reception, film screening, and discussion. Tickets are $20 for the event, which include drink and appetizers. Reserve tickets online here.
