Feb 25, V-Day Film

"What I Want My Words To Do To You" offers an unprecedented look into the minds and hearts of the women inmates of New York's Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. The film goes inside a writing workshop led by playwright and activist Eve Ensler, consisting of 15 women, most of whom were convicted of murder. Through a series of exercises and discussions, the women delve into their pasts and explore the nature of their crimes and the extent of their own culpability.

The Women’s Resource Center in collaboration with the Vagina Warriors presents "What I Want My Words To Do To You." The film documents both the wrenching personal journeys undertaken by female inmates of a high security prison in New York. Through a series of exercises and discussions with Vagina Monologues creator, Eve Ensler, the women find the words that tell their own stories, and the power of those words to move the outside world.

Please come join us for this film in a (late) celebration of Valentine's Day!
