Cinematography
La cantante Chavela Vargas ganó un nombre por sí misma primero en México y más tarde en todo el mundo principalmente por su interpretación de rancheras tradicionales. Estas canciones eran compuestas principalmente por hombres y en su mayoría hablaban de amor no correspondido por las mujeres, el cansancio del mundo y la soledad. Chavela las interpretaba con su propia ritmo y su voz áspera y vulnerable. El material inédito de esta película, así como las entrevistas con la propia Chavela y sus contemporáneos, colegas y parejas, han dado como resultado un cariñoso retrato de una artista carismática y excepcional, que fue abiertamente lesbiana a lo largo de su vida.

On October 23, 1998, a sniper carrying a high-powered rifle assassinated Dr. Barnett Slepian in his home, altering forever a family, a community, and the bounds of our imaginings about anti-abortion violence. This horrific act punctuated a decade of escalating harassment and violence against women’s heath care providers – a decade marred by murders, assaults, death threats, stalking, clinic blockades, arsons, bombings, and chemical attacks. How do these events affect the personal and professional lives of abortion providers? What motivates them to continue their work in the face of such terrorism?

The first educational media project to examine the related policy initiatives of the radical right wing and illustrate how their hatred and bias hurts ordinary people. It presents three case studies of the democratic right: racist David Duke's electoral bids in Louisiana; the struggle over homophobic Amendment 2 in Colorado, which was ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in May 1996; and the scapegoating of immigrants, people of color, and women through Proposition 187 and Proposition 209 in California. In each case, When Democracy Works highlights the work of progressive grassroots organizers to thwart the radical right and uphold democratic values.

Director
Intimate scenes of gentle sexuality and domesticity set to the mechanical cadence of a projector (evoking a feeling somewhere between the repetitive labour of a sewing machine and violence of a machine gun) are juxtaposed with images of police and sirens to highlight the alarming intrusion of America’s laws on queer people and women’s bodies in healthcare, sexual expression, and desire.
