Catching Sight of Thelma & Louise
The seminal movie Thelma & Louise was released in 1991 and become a symbol of the strength of feminine friendships and women’s resistance to sexist treatment.
Our guest presenter is Jennifer Townsend, producer/director of Catching Sight of Thelma and Louise. This documentary explores the impact the original movie had women’s lives and society’s failure to deal with these issues since then.
Weekend activities and topics will include:
- Power of women’s relationships.
- Impact of sexism on women’s lives
- The power we have to write our stories differently from the generations before us.
- Opportunities for reflection, conversation, connections, games, treats, massage, art, hiking and time well spent with your ESUC sisters.
