Love and Juice Film Series: PEACE BY PEACE
“Peace by Peace: Women on the Frontlines”
In honor of International Women’s Day this event is co-sponsored by special guests, Jan Strout and Cindy Domingo, co-founders of the US Women and Cuba Collaboration
Women are more likely than professional soldiers to be the casualties of war. From genocide and rape to displacement and starvation, they bear more than their fair share of the suffering. But amongst all this hardship, women around the world are standing up for peace. By advocating justice and educating future generations that war is not the answer, they are at the forefront of reconciling their communities. This documentary follows women peacemakers from four different conflict/crisis zones: Afghanistan, Argentina, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Burundi. Narrated by Academy-Award winning actress Jessica Lange, this film redefines the role of women in war.
