SUNDANCE 2017: I will be in Park City Utah attending the Sundance Film Festival while some of you will be in DC on the 20th and 21st participating in the DC actions
against the Trump agenda, Some of you will be in your hometown marching together in your local WOMEN'S MARCH. I will join with local women in Park City who have organized in solidarity with over 300 Marches in the US A WOMEN" S MARCH TO PROTEST THE TRUMP AGENDA, AND IT'S ATTACK ON A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CONTROL HER OWN BODY! AND THE DEFUNDING OF WOMEN"S HEALTH CLINICS.
Chelsea Handler is speaking, and I are surely many other women and men attending SUNDANCE will join in. I know I am.
Handler said, "Sundance has always been a platform for change: not only for filmmakers and filmmaking but also for big ideas for the future. If there's anything I learned in the last year, it's that we need to be louder and stronger than ever about what we believe in, so I joined some incredible women from around the country to bring our voices together in the streets of Park City. The Women's March on Main will be an opportunity for the creative community and those in Utah to stand beside those in D.C."
While this is not sponsored by the non-profit SUNDANCE INSTITUE the producer of the Sundance Film Festival, its founder Robert Redford I am sure will have something to say. The opening press conference will I suspect be the place he will say something
During the festival, a variety of related events will be taking place. I will be posting other events during Sundance that will be a response to the Trump agenda, And if there is a live stream I will post that info.
Here is the first one I know of and I am excited because Jehane Noujaim who directed THE SQUARE an Academy Award nominated and Sundance premiered documentary as well as CONTROL ROOM an insightful look inside of Al Jazeera
