October 13, Crossings: Transnational Feminist Solidarity for Peace in Korea & Beyond
Join us for a screening of Crossings (2021), a film documenting a group of international women peacemakers on a risky journey across the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea to call for an end to a 70-year war that has divided the Korean peninsula and its people. Comprised of Nobel Peace Laureates like Leymah Gbowee and Mairead Maguire, and renowned activists like Gloria Steinem and Christine Ahn, the intrepid team faces daunting logistical and political challenges as they forge a path with their Korean sisters toward peace and reconciliation. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with the filmmaker and organizers of the 2015 peace walk.
