Title: Senorita Extraviada, Missing Young Woman
Category: Latino/Hispanic Community, Sexual Assault/Sexual Harassment, Trafficking Format: VHS Length: 74 minutes
Description: Senorita Extraviada "tells the haunting story of the more than 200 kidnapped, raped and murdered young women of Juarez, Mexico. Visually poetic, yet unflinching in its gaze, this compelling investigation unravels the layers of complicity that have allowed for the brutal murders of women living along the Mexico-U.S. border. In the midst of Juarez's international mystique and high profile job market, there exists a murky history of grossly underreported human rights abuses and violence against women. Relying on what Portillo comes to see as the most reliable of sources -- the testimonies of the families of the victims -- [it] documents a two-year search for the truth in the underbelly of the new global economy." (Some interviews spoken in Spanish with English subtitles.)

Description: Producer's description: "Terra Nullius evolved as part of a response by a generation of Australian Aborigines to the government's assimilationist policies which removed children from their families and placed them with white foster families. In this evocative and impressionistic drama of a young Aboriginal girl shown absorbing the fear, shame and incestuous abuse of her adoptive white parents. Expressionist images repeatedly disrupt the narrative as haunting echoes of the denial of racial and sexual abuse.

Description: Documentary on the sexual abuse and incest of the female child in the Eastern Indian population. Producer's description: "By interweaving survivors' narratives, including the producer's own story, with interviews with South Asian mental health professionals, and with statistical information, as well as poetry and art, [this film] discloses the many layers of a subject traditionally shrouded in secrecy. Insights into the far-reaching psychological, social and cultural consequences of incest are accompanied by thoughtful assessments of strategies that have helped adult women cope with childhood trauma. The video also analyzes social and cultural resistance in South Asia and the Diaspora to dealing with incest's causes and its effects on its victims." (Orders must be made with order form.)

Title: The Date Rape Backlash
Category: Dating Violence Format: VHS Length: 58 minutes
Description: Producer's description: "How did date rape shift from a 'shockingly frequent... outrage,' as Newsweek once called it, to a controversy over 'crying rape,' as New York magazine later labeled it? Susan Faludi, bell hooks, Mary Koss, Katha Pollitt, Neil Malamuth, and others, analyze a classical case study in media 'backlash.' By the early 1990s, solid research and overwhelming evidence had prompted a growing awareness of the epidemic nature of date rape, especially on college campuses. But, starting in 1993, the media used the anecdotal comments of one young woman, Katie Roiphe, to undermine efforts to stop this continuing crime against women. How did this happen?" Excellent tool for in-depth college classroom discussion. Warning: Contains some intense, offensive language.

Title: The Day I Will Never Forget
Category: Victimization/Victims' Rights, Community Activism Format: VHS Length: 92 minutes
Description: A powerful exploration of the continuing practice of female genital mutilation, a.k.a. female circumcision in Kenya. Producer's description: "Longinotto delivers the delicate substance of the custom via both her documentarian's sense of distance and the extraordinary access she has to people affected by it. While she is clearly sympathetic to the young victims, she also gives voice to the older women who advance the practice in the name of tradition, never losing sight of the moral, spiritual, and physical dangers involved. The film is ultimately hopeful, finding spiritual sustenance in the courage of a young girl to confront her mother, the strength of an enlightened nurse, and the rebellious spirit of a group of young children who defy their parents and find refuge in the power of the law."

The video is a consciousness-raising tool about this systematic discrimination and gender bias. It helps viewers identify specific policies, procedures, and practices which may appear neutral and fair but which, in actuality, have an adverse impact on women. Finally, it generates suggestions on ways to address this problem."
