3. Hollywood needs a major overhaul

The whole entertainment industry does. There are so many battles to fight that when I think about it, I'm dumbstruck.

If you catch it, will you post a detailed follow-up? I have a feeling it's going to be a while before it's available online and it's never going to show in my neck of the woods.

When I was looking for the trailer I saw a post by someone who was so excited to see it in Kansas but, after an uproar, the movie theater pulled Pariah.

Is the film that threatening to people who want to keep us servile?

Edit: Thank you I'm working with a women's group here, trying to empower women, but it's so different than any work I did in the states because these women have no safety nets and the poverty and exploitation are appalling.

I'd like to have a conversation with you (and anyone else who can help) on pointers and good reading material on economic exploitation of Third World women that women in the industrialized world profit from too. Where is the international sisterhood that says NO to the economic, mental and physical exploitation of all women? I need to find it.
