This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 62nd New York Film Festival with The Seed of the Sacred Fig director Mohammad Rasoulof.   The Seed of the Sacred Fig opens at FLC on November 27. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/fig A target of Iran's hardline conservative government for his films' criticism of the state, director Mohammad Rasoulof fled his home country to avoid an eight-year prison sentence, though he hadn't finished editing his latest film yet. His searing drama The Seed of the Sacred Fig won a Special Prize from the jury and three other awards on its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. The film is every bit as urgent and gripping as its real-life backstory would portend: longtime government worker Iman (Missagh Zareh) has just received a major promotion to the role of judge's investigator, to the hopeful delight of his wife Najmeh (Soheila Golestani); at the same moment, a series of student protests against the government have exploded in the streets, stoking the sympathies of their independent-minded daughters Rezvan (Mahsa Rostami) and Sana (Setareh Maleki). The growing wedge between progressive children and traditional parents intensifies through a series of unsettling events that put Iman's future in jeopardy. Both paranoia thriller and domestic drama, The Seed of the Sacred Fig is above all an epic of anti-patriarchal political conviction. An NYFF62 Main Slate selection. A NEON release. This conversation was moderated by NYFF programmer Rachel Rosen.

For today's daily NYFF62 podcast, directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, & Galen Johnson, and cast members Cate Blanchett and Denis Menochet discuss Rumours, a Spotlight selection of the 62nd New York Film Festival, with NYFF programmer Rachel Rosen. The world's wealthy democratic world leaders have come together for the annual G7 summit, trading quips and nervous smiles as they do their best to diplomatically discuss vague matters of international emergency and draft statements of import between sips of wine. Yet a major, unforeseen crisis looms on the horizon for the presidents, prime ministers, and chancellors—nothing less than potential human apocalypse, hastened by the arrival of unearthed “bog men” from the Iron Age and a giant pulsating brain perched ominously in the woods. This sci-fi pulp satire finds Canadian trickster extraordinaire Guy Maddin (My Winnipeg) and fellow Manitoban co-directors Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson in a particularly wacky mood, corralling an outstanding, starry cast—including Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, Denis Ménochet, Charles Dance, and Nikki Amuka-Bird—for a merciless, midnight-movie skewering of the bureaucratic processes that govern our precarious reality.

On the first episode of our daily 62nd New York Film Festival edition of the FLC podcast, director Julia Loktev and subjects Anna Nemzer, Ksenia Mironova, and Olga Churakova join Rachel Rosen to discuss My Undesirable Friends Part I – Last Air in Moscow, world premiering in the Main Slate of this year's festival. American filmmaker Julia Loktev (The Loneliest Planet, NYFF49), born in the Soviet Union, returned to Moscow in 2021 to make a documentary on the persistence of independent journalism in Putin's Russia—just months, as it turned out, before the country's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. With her friend Anna Nemzer, a talk show journalist for TV Rain, Russia's last remaining independent news channel, Loktev ends up immersing herself with a group of young women fighting to ensure the vocalization of dissent and outspoken criticism of the country—even as they are branded by the government as “foreign agents,” their careers and lives increasingly at risk as the country creeps toward war. Structured in five chapters, Loktev's film, the climactic days of which were filmed in Moscow during the first week of the invasion, when most independent journalists fled the country, is an extraordinary vérité document of a moment of immense change and anxiety, as well as a vital depiction of the eternal hope that so many in Russia hold for living in a democratic state. Screening in two parts: Chapters 1–3 (198m), Chapters 4–5 (124m). All NYFF62 feature documentaries are sponsored by HBO. Tickets to the New York Film Festival are moving fast!

As the cost of higher education climbs, skills-based hiring has gained traction. It's a labor market trend in which employers hire based on applicants' skills, with the understanding that degrees are not the only way to acquire competencies.   In a follow-up to an earlier episode on skills-based hiring, Rachel Rosen, who leads MDRC's Center for Effective Career and Technical Education, speaks with two guests: Kelli-Marie Vallieres, Connecticut's Chief Workforce Officer who leads the state's Office of Workforce Strategy, and Elizabeth Creamer, Vice President of Workforce Development for the Community College Workforce Alliance, which is the workforce development division of Brightpoint and Reynolds community colleges, within the Virginia Community College System.   They discuss which sectors are experiencing an uptick in skills-based hiring in Connecticut, what non-degree programs are offered in Virginia, and whether skills-based hiring can promote equity.

We were happy to have director Yorgos Lanthimos back at the New York Film Festival to discuss Poor Things, a Main Slate selection of this year's festival, as well as cinematographer Robbie Ryan, costume designer Holly Waddington, composer Jerskin Fendrix, and production designers James Price & Shona Heath, with NYFF programmer Rachel Rosen. In his boldest vision yet, iconoclast auteur Yorgos Lanthimos, previously featured in NYFF with The Lobster (NYFF57) and The Favourite (NYFF56), creates an outlandish alternate 19th century on the cusp of technological breakthrough, in which a peculiar, childlike woman named Bella (Emma Stone) lives with her mysterious caretaker, the scientist and surgeon Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). At once poignant and grotesque, Poor Things, based on a 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray, is a punkish update of the Frankenstein story that becomes a deeply feminist fairy tale about women taking back control of their own bodies and minds. A Searchlight Pictures release. Listen to the conversation with Lanthimos and his team as they discuss Poor Things. Don't forget to mark your calendars: Poor Things opens in theaters on December 8.

If you've been following the podcast and the Film Comment Letter, you'll know that for the last two weeks, we've been reporting from the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Before the festival ended last Sunday, Devika Girish, Co-Deputy Editor of FC, gathered Justin Chang, Dennis Lim, and Rachel Rosen—all of whom serve on the selection committee of the New York Film Festival—for a look back at the Cannes that was. As experienced festival veterans, the three reflected on the trends of this year's festival, including the preponderance of long films, experiments with historical representation, and hybrids of fiction and documentary. They also discussed some of the festival's late premieres, including films by Catherine Breillat and Hong Sangsoo. We hope you enjoy the conversation—and keep your eyes on filmcomment.com for more Cannes wrap coverage, coming later this week: https://www.filmcomment.com/blog/category/festivals/cannes/cannes-2023/

The 60th edition of the New York Film Festival, currently in progress through October 16th, recently hosted the World Premiere of Chinonye Chukwu's powerful new drama, Till, in the festival's Spotlight section. Till tells the story of Mamie Till-Mobley, the Chicago woman whose son, Emmett Till, was lynched while visiting cousins in Mississippi and whose body became an indelible image of the horrors of American racism. Employing a direct, unflinching, yet sensitive gaze, Chukwu has created the definitive drama of this woman's grief and resilience, and in an astonishing performance, Danielle Deadwyler captures both a mother's indescribable heartbreak and her inspiring ascension to the role of civil rights activist. Till is a momentous reminder of an ever-present tragedy, featuring painstaking production design, subtly expressive camera framing and composition, and a note-perfect supporting cast, including Sean Patrick Thomas, Jalyn Hall, Tosin Cole, John Douglas Thompson, Frankie Faison, and Whoopi Goldberg. Listen to the press conference below with director Chinonye Chukwu, producer and co-writer Keith Beauchamp, and cast members Danielle Deadwyler, Whoopi Goldberg, Jalyn Hall, John Douglas Thompson, and Sean Patrick Thomas, moderated by NYFF Main Slate selection committee member, Rachel Rosen.

For separated child migrants - or unaccompanied minors in legal terms - ‘care' is ambiguous: they may receive care because of their ‘child' status or be excluded from provision because of their ‘migrant' status. We start from the premise that care is not limited to what can be provided by an adult or the state, but can come from other separated children themselves. This episode's presenter Dr Keri Wong finds out how participatory and creative research can help researchers like Dr Rachel Rosen to unpack the complexities of contradictory and changeable immigration and welfare systems. Dr Rosen co-leads Children Caring on the Move (CCoM), a project investigating separated child migrants' experiences of care and caring for others as they navigate these systems in England. The discussion features relflection and experiences from two peer researchers, Mika and Gulli, who came to the UK as children and sought asylum here. "Stories too big for a case file: Unaccompanied young people confront the hostile environment" will be shown to public audiences during 'An evening of sensory film' at the Bloomsbury Theatre on 10 October 2022.

Green jobs in diverse industries, such as transportation, construction, environmental management, and agriculture, have grown in recent years and are predicted to further increase in the future. Filling these jobs will require a skilled workforce, yet federal investments in training for green jobs have focused mostly on adults. In this episode, Leigh Parise talks with Rachel Rosen, a senior research associate and co-director of MDRC's Center for Effective Career and Technical Education, on evidence-based strategies that can help create pathways for careers in the green economy for young people.

Conflicts near and far have left lasting direct and indirect impacts on us all. With the food, fuel and the cost of living crisis, it feels like we're in uncharted waters, with everyone trying to stay afloat. Conflict has always been a source of mass migration and as people move, labels tend to blur so we thought it's important to understand the differences between refugees and asylum seekers as those labels will impact their experience of receiving support, care and legal representation. In this preview of Season 17 of Research for the Real World we'll hear from: Dr Caroline Oliver on asylum seeker reception, integration and the role of local communities Dr Bernardita Muñoz Chereau on how we can support children from refugee backgrounds who have found themselves in underperforming schools Professor Mette Berg on listening to the experiences of those navigating the UK asylum seeker system Dr Rachel Rosen and two young researchers who came to the UK as children and sought asylum on unpacking the complexities of immigration and welfare through participatory and creative research.

In this episode, hosts Dr. Peter Lu and Dr. Jason Silverman talk to Dr. Rachel Rosen about one of the most common problems we see as pediatric gastroenterologists (or as pediatricians): gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. She explains how she approaches the evaluation and management of babies who spit up frequently and why all that spits up is not GERD. We also talk about the care of older children and adolescents who have GERD, including those with GERD symptoms that persist despite a trial of acid suppression. She discusses the value of pH-impedance testing and also explains why she is cautious about recommending anti-reflux surgery.Dr. Rosen is a pediatric gastroenterologist at Boston Children's Hospital, Director of their Aerodigestive Center, and an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. She is also the first author of the 2018 NASPGHAN and ESPGHAN guidelines on the evaluation and management of children with GERD.Learning Objectives:1) Recognize the evolving definition of GERD in children.2) Understand the pathophysiology and management of GERD symptoms in infants.3) Understand the role of pH-impedance testing in the evaluation of children with GERD symptoms.4) Understand the role of anti-reflux surgery in the management of children with severe GERD.CME for NASPGHAN members is available here!Links:Rosen R, et al.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we're featuring a special Q&A from the 59th New York Film Festival with Silvan Zürcher, one of the directors of The Girl and the Spider, and NYFF programmer Rachel Rosen. Everything is in its right place, yet nothing is ever what or where it seems in this alternately droll and melancholy new film from the Zürcher brothers, whose The Strange Little Cat was one of the most striking and original debut features of recent years. Their latest charts a few days in the lives of two young people on the verge of change: Lisa (Liliane Amuat), who is in the process of moving into a new apartment, and her current roommate, Mara (Henriette Confurius), who's staying behind. Though its setup is simple, the film—and the ambiguous relationship between the women—is anything but. The architectural precision of the filmmaking belies the inchoate longings and desires that appear to course through Lisa and Mara, as well as the various characters who come in and out of their homes. The Girl and the Spider is a minor-key symphony of inscrutable glances and irresolvable tensions.  The NYFF59 Main Slate selection opens this Friday in our theaters!

Welcome to a special 58th New York Film Festival edition of the Film at Lincoln Center podcast. Today, we’re featuring two conversations from new films screening at the festival. First up, producer Filip Jan Rymsza and editor Bob Murawski joined programmer Rachel Rosen to discuss Hopper/Welles, a Spotlight selection at this year’s festival. In November 1970, two movie mavericks, one already a legend (Orson Welles) and the other on his way to mythic status (Dennis Hopper), met for an epochal conversation, sharing their candid thoughts and feelings about cinema, art, and life. This entertaining and revealing footage, never before seen in full, has been resurrected in the form of this new feature, which premieres tonight at 8pm at the Queens drive-in followed by virtual nationwide screenings beginning September 28. This conversation is followed by a Q&A from the Opening Night selection of our new Currents section, which complements the Main Slate, tracing a more complete picture of contemporary cinema with an emphasis on new and innovative forms and voices. Ephraim Asili’s first feature, The Inheritance, is a powerfully dynamic hybrid film that documents the history of Philadelphia-based Black liberation group MOVE alongside dramatizations of the filmmaker’s own experiences in an activist collective. Asili joined NYFF Director of Programming Dennis Lim for a conversation on his debut feature, which premieres tonight at 8pm at the Brooklyn drive-in as well as on our Virtual Cinema, available nationwide.

New types of career and technical education programs are trying to prepare workers for an increasingly complex labor market. For high school students, this preparation can mean combining academic study with a strong career focus and hands-on work experience with an industry partner. MDRC is testing the effectiveness of this approach in an evaluation of the New York City P-TECH 9-14 school model. P-TECH 9-14 schools collaborate with local community colleges to allow students to earn high school diplomas and cost-free, industry-recognized associate’s degrees at the same time. During the six-year program, employer partners support P-TECH 9-14 schools by providing students with work-based learning experiences such as internships, mentoring, and job shadowing. Interim results show that after three years, students in P-TECH 9-14 schools earn about two more credits than students at other schools. Students in P-TECH 9-14 schools also pass state-level proficiency exams earlier and pass at higher rates. In this episode, Leigh Parise talks about the NYC P-TECH grades 9-14 high school model and MDRC’s study with Rachel Rosen, codirector of MDRC's Center for Effective Career and Technical Education and co-principal investigator on the study.

An onstage conversation with this master filmmaker about his extraordinary documentary work. Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore… to name but a few. The films of Martin Scorsese are astounding. As is his effort to preserve and save the history and heritage of American cinema through The Film Foundation. Martin Scorsese is a Keeper. A steward of American and global cinema.  One of our heroes and inspirations. Beloved for his epic fiction features, Martin Scorsese’s non-fiction films are also some of his best work. Whether depicting tales of American life, illuminating the history of cinema, or capturing the exuberant spirit of contemporary music, his documentaries are insightful and often playful, revealing his curiosity and passion. And then there are his documentaries. His non-fiction films, starting with Italianamerican, a portrait of his own parents and family. The Last Waltz, Rolling Stones Shine a Light, Living in the Material World, his ode to George Harrison, My Voyage to Italy, Il Mio Viaggio a Italia, and his most recent documentary, but not quite documentary, Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Review. The San Francisco Film Society invited Mr. Scorsese to San Francisco to honor his non-fiction film work and premier his latest feature, The Irishman. We were so taken with Scorsese’s onstage interview with Rachel Rosen, Director of Programming for the Festival, that we asked The Festival if we could share it on the Kitchen Sisters Present podcast. They were kind enough to say yes. Thanks to The San Francisco Film Society, to Rachel Rosen, and most of all to Martin Scorsese, film master and film keeper.

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.

Like with any good project, it takes a team to get you across the finish line. For two seasons, the Center for American Progress has published this weekly podcast in hopes of encouraging its listeners to think about the world a little differently, and share perspectives that can help foster a more inclusive society. From Sally Tucker and Thinking CAP’s original hosts Michele Jawando and Igor Volsky, to our supervising producer Rachel Rosen and season two producer Kyle Epstein, and our researcher Chris Ford, making this podcast has been an exceptional ride.

Our fans are always submitting new flavor ideas and lime has long been one of the most popular requests.” says Bill Creelman, founder and CEO of Spindrift, “Lime is actually the most popular flavor in the flavored sparkling water category, but Spindrift is the first brand with scale to make it with real squeezed lime juice.” In the excitement to tell the world about the new flavor release, the team noticed that there was a whole basket of fruit emojis – but no lime. Enlisting the help of their community, Spindrift looks to rally those on social media seeking to complete their citrus expression with the tiny lime emoji. To support Spindrift’s commitment to giving back, during the WHY #NOLIMEEMOJI? campaign, Spindrift will donate $1 for every Instagram or Twitter post using #NoLimeEmoji to Whole Kids Foundation (up to $50,000 dollars) through March 31, 2019.

Honored to share this special episode of the Mother’s Quest Podcast featuring a conversation I had with author and coach Sage Hobbs as a guest on her show, Naked Conversations. I loved all the themes that we discussed and wanted to introduce more of you to Sage’s work, so I’m excited and appreciative that she gave me permission to share in this way. This is the last of a series of previously released conversations that I’m bringing to you this summer as I’ve focused on time with my children and transitioning them to school. In two weeks, I’ll be back with a brand new conversation, so make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast so that new episode comes straight to you. Sage and I cover so many topics in this episode, from personal challenges, to losing ourselves in motherhood, to the power of storytelling to feel our common humanity, to activism.  Underneath them all is this idea of defining courage for ourselves, exploring how we’ve been expanding our leadership in more courageous ways, and how this helps us pursue a fuller expression of who we are. The theme around courage is particularly resonant for me right now, as I’ve been stepping into new territory advocating for two police accountability bills being deliberated on in Sacramento, and after I helped to bring a powerful play called The (M)others, of mothers who have lost loved ones to police brutality, to Sacramento just last week. It’s also resonant because in their own ways, my children have been stepping into more courage. Starting a brand new school, especially when you’re differenty-wired, has required each of them to move out of their comfort zone and hold a positive picture of what’s possible for them. My oldest son Ryan and I went on another milestone hike together, where he re-committed to not letting fear stop him from living his YOLO life.  My youngest Jacob and I have been doing some affirmations together as part of our Miracle Morning Challenge happening in the facebook group right now, and he chose this affirmation from my list as his own, “Like an alchemist, I transform fear into curiosity and excitement.” I hope this episode gives you an opportunity to reflect on courage in your life, and to find some inspiration to transform any fear you or your children have at this time of year, into curiosity and excitement for yourselves. In This Episode We Talk About: Definitions of courage (one from my 14 year old!) What it means to live an E.P.I.C. life The moments that moved me to activism for police accountability Using growth mindset to explore challenging topics Leadership and permission My incredible story of two birds trapped in my house, and their timely lesson The Women Podcasters in Solidarity Initiative Resources Mentioned: Making the World a Better Place, One Leader at a Time with Rachel Rosen The Power of Healing in Community with Sera Snyder This is Not the Life I ordered Planting Seeds for Mother’s Quest Courageous Conversations about Race with Nicole Lee Intersectionality and the Age of the New Heroine with Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin Living Out Loud with Jenjii Hysten The blog post about the two birds Women Podcasters in Solidarity This Episode is Dedicated by: Rachel Rosen, a seasoned facilitator, leadership coach, inclusion strategist, and speaker, and the Founder of SPARK For Humanity, the interactive, community-building card game where everyone belongs. She dedicates this episode to Jillian Roth of Mama J Consulting and Anjela Ford of Anjelabundance.

Announcements: Fall Clarity Session Special In our family right now, we’re getting adjusted to two big milestones. Jacob has started kindergarten and Ryan is in high school. To start the school year well, I made sure to invest in myself to reflect on what matters and get grounded, and I know that helped them to start well. In honor of this critical time of year, I’m offering a special rate for a 90 minute clarity coaching session and would love to support you, and your children, to begin the year mindfully. Go to https://mothersquest.as.me/FallClaritySessionSpecial to book your session by the end of August for this special rate. Wishing you and yours an ease-filled and intentional start of this school year. Support The (M)others and Two Key Police Accountability Bills In CA, lawmakers are deliberating right now on two key police accountability bills, SB-1421 and AB-931. In advance of that deliberation, I worked with Nikki Yeboah, the producer of a powerful play called (M)others, to bring forward the stories of those who’ve lost loved ones to police brutality to the Sacramento community. The showings were powerful and we’ve decided to bring the play to other cities in CA, those with the highest rates of police-involved shootings. Visit gofundme.com/slash take-this-play-to-senate to learn more about this effort and how you can support. We also need your support to call CA lawmakers and tell them to vote “yes” on these two bills.

Rachel has spent several years of learning, coaching, and facilitating experiences on leadership development, organizational development, and racial equity.

Have you heard about homeopathy? They are natural remedies that have been used since the late 1800s and are much more than supplements and herbs! This week, I had Naturopath, Licensed Acupuncturist, Functional Medicine™ expert, and Homeopath, Dr. Carol Lourie on the show.  Carol has over 30 years of experience in providing integrative health care.  Her proprietary process - The Lourie Process - helps people reclaim their health by looking back to the roots of their illness. They create a timeline for the development of the disease, from root causes to current stressors that helps unravel the “why” and “how” of the illness,  and illuminate the path back to wellness. "Homeopathy works to stimulate a person's own immune system on an emotional, physical, and spiritual level. It's the energy of the substance. That's how it works without causing side effects." - Dr Carol Lourie On today's episode, Dr. Lourie shares about the principals of homeopathy, how it works in the body, and how a homeopathic remedy is created.   She also shares about using homeopathy - not just for physical ailments, but emotional healing as well! Last week we talked about inclusion, empathy, and racial equity with Rachel Rosen. We learned how to start important conversations and truly connect. What did you take away from Rachel's episode?

Ever had someone offend you or treat you like an outsider? Rachel's mission is to start a global conversation about inclusion, empathy, and racial equity. Sometimes feeling like an outsider could be from an intentional action made by another. Other times we are made to feel this way unintentionally, but by virtue of the blind spots of another. As human beings, we literally can't see ourselves fully and don't always realize that our actions may be making others feel uncomfortable or even causing them to be offended. This week, seasoned facilitator, executive coach, consultant, and racial justice and LGBTQ activist, Rachel Rosen joined me on the show. She founded S.P.A.R.K. Leadership and S.P.A.R.K. Community to fulfill her mission to start a global conversation about inclusion, empathy, and racial equity. With a Masters from Stanford, and extensive training in leadership, coaching, team and organizational development, S.P.A.R.K. experiences are grounded in theory and practice. They support leaders and teams to unleash their potential to facilitate powerful experiences, collaborate, and build trust – all in service of building a better tomorrow. “We're wired and we all have unconscious biases, given what our upbringing was; and so if we haven't had exposure to a lot of diversity, or different perspectives, or uncomfortable conversation then we don't have that muscle. So therefore, we have blind spots. So, I really lean in to this conversation.” – Rachel Rosen In this podcast episode... Rachel shares how we can start powerful conversations, how communities can wake up to the layers of their biases, and the one common denominator that we all share and can use to connect! Last week we talked about the self-empowerment with Niki Gratrix. This was an important conversation about going back to our roots to find out where empowerment comes from! I loved what she shared about the latest research on parental attachment. What did you take away from Niki's episode? Check out last week's episode to find out more!

Yet again, I’m so amazed by the women I get to talk to on this show.  It gives me hope for the world every, single time… Rachel is a teacher, an activist, a leader, and a hugely kind hearted person.   She tackles big, challenging topics of racial equity, school inclusion, new models for leadership, and more.  From being a school teacher to a principal to an educational leadership coach, she really approaches these topics with heart and courage. Rachel tells stories about how she was a bit of an unlikely leader in this work, given her background from a small town in Texas, but was pushed by her students and life experiences to go deeper into her values and speak out.   We talk about courageous conversations, deeper listening, and how we can all do better.  She also breaks down the work of her company, SPARK for Humanity, and how it came to be born (even when she didn’t expect it).  And the “naked” moment she cried her eyes out while running a training in front of 250 school leaders… a moment that changed everything, and catalyzed her work. Rachel is incredibly bright and passionate, and another amazing example of how we can play bigger and make new choices.

We open with a rebroadcast of our interview with Keith Josef Adkins on his latest play, The Patron Saint of Peanuts, which honors George Washington Carver; we then shift to an interview airedd two years ago with Camille T. Dungy, editor of black nature: Four Centuries of African Nature Poetry. We then celebrate with author Judy Juanita the publication of her forst novel, Virgin Soul. The novel is a tour de force featuring Geneice Hightower who takes us on a journey through the Black Arts & Revolutionary Movements of the '60s, most notably the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. Up close and personal, this old soul in a young body, smart and cute and hip, when she needs to be, innocent and fierce yet always honest is a for real foot soldier movement woman, who attends Oakland City College, hosts Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture) at her flat, which becomes a SafeHouse, learns to clean and assemble guns, dodges police bullets, graduates from SF State, feeds kids breakfast, tutors in Bayview Hunter's Point, recites poetry, gets laid, and ultimately finds herself (smile). Yes, it's that exciting. We close, if there is time, with an interview with Rachel Rosen, Program Dir. for the San Francisco Film Society, presenter of the 56th Annual San Francisco International Film Festival which begins April 25-May 9, 2013 http://www.sffs.org/  See http://sf.funcheap.com/ for information about Earth Day Activities Friday-Monday, April 19-22, 2013.
