THE SISTERHOOD & NOT ONE MORE (OAKUFF 2012)

Saturday September 29th at the Humanist Hall, 12:00pm

THE SISTERHOOD (74 mins)
Directed by Roger Horn
Hazendal Wine Estate farmhands Pietie, Hope and Rollie are not your typical South African wine workers. Hope aspires to winning the local drag queen pageant, Rollie dreams of a husband and retaining the local drag queen crown, and Pietie struggles with his religious upbringing while obsessing over his roses, chickens, and pigeons. These transgender wine workers confront prejudice at every turn, from their own farming communities, city transgenders and the world at large, yet Roger Horn's film manages to find the fabulous in the fraught and offer a portrait of triumph in togetherness rather than loneliness in victimization.

NOT ONE MORE (17 mins)
Directed by Angela Aguayo
For over a decade, women throughout the State of Chihuahua, Mexico have been disappearing; their unidentified bodies violated and systematically dumped near maquiladoras (border town factories) and other deserted locations. Over 430 young women who have been found raped, tortured, and murdered were predominantly discovered in the US/Mexico border of El Paso/Ciudad Juarez and the State's capital, Chihuahua City.
