Bright Light Cinema Series: ‘Women Talking’

A group of women gather in a hayloft to discuss how to respond. While the men are away, the women narrow their options down to three: do nothing, stay and fight, or leave. Some fear that any act of defiance will jeopardize their entry into heaven, while others believe they cannot survive without husbands and sons. Some are willing to take any measures to escape the terror of their domestic lives and insist that “the truth is stronger than the rules.”

Discussion led by affiliated faculty and filmmaker Colleen Kelly Poplin to follow. More at Bright Lights.
