Passionate Politics: The Life and Work of Charlotte Bunch
will screen in New York City in celebration of International Women’s Month
NEW YORK (February 14, 2013) – JOYCE WARSHOW FILMS is proud to announce the screenings of the highly-acclaimed documentary Passionate Politics: The Life and Work of Charlotte Bunch at GMHC, Two Moon Art House and Bluestockings Radical Books in celebration of International Women’s Month.
Passionate Politics is a one-hour documentary that profiles activist Charlotte Bunch, from idealistic young civil rights organizer to lesbian activist to internationally recognized leader of a campaign that put women’s right on the global human rights agenda.
“PASSIONATE POLITICS is an extraordinary documentary that puts body and life into the feminist idea that the personal is political.” says Distinguished Professor Rosalind Petchesky of the CUNY Graduate Center. “Charlotte Bunch—outspoken lesbian feminist trailblazer, charismatic builder of bridges, and author of the transformative concept that Women’s Rights are Human Rights—is the film’s riveting centerpiece.”
