Liz Abzug, daughter of Bella, is the guest. I invited Liz on to discuss her relationship with the director Jeff L. Lieberman, who made the documentary "Bella: This Woman's Place is in the House".

A new documentary featuring feminist luminaries like Gloria Steinem, Hillary Clinton and Maxine Waters spotlights the life and legacy of New York's Bella Abzug, who served in the House of Representatives in the 1970's. We speak to director Jeff L. Lieberman and producer Jamila C. Fairley about "Bella!" This segment is guest hosted by Brigid Bergin. 

Today we are joined by director Jeff L Lieberman, to discuss his work on the documentary film Bella! Using never-before-seen home movies, audio diaries, and a vast trove of newly-discovered news footage, Bella! delves into a colorful and gritty era where one woman sacrificed her own political ambitions for future generations of female leadership.

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! 1.
