So I’ve wanted to make some sort of movie like this for a while. I’ve been trying to figure out why I have a kind of allergic reaction to racist/state violence and why I can’t bear to see pictures of children suffering. And why I think that people should tap dance when courting me, and wear more fabulous outfits generally.

I put this video together this week, I think I will keep working on it. I am very interested hearing the stories of girls born between 1965 and 1970, and finding out who we have become as adults.

In case you didn’t know, the images of the man with the police, and the bombing of the (inhabited) city block that the Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on are from the anti-MOVE violence in Philadelphia . The mug shot is of Assata Shakur.
