LOOK US IN THE EYE: THE OLD WOMEN'S PROJECT

By Jennifer Abod

In "Look Us in the Eye," Cynthia Rich, Mannie Garza and Janice Keaffaber take the stereotypes of an ageist culture and turn them on their heads. Wearing brilliant t-shirts that declare "Old Women are Your Future" and carrying their giant multi-ethnic old woman puppet, POWER (Pissed Old Woman Engaged in Revolution), The Old Women's Project refuses invisibility and proclaims that old women are part of every social justice issue. Look Us in the Eye is intended for highschool girls, women of all ages, and the boys and men who care about us.

Reviews
  • "Look Us in the Eye: The Old Women's Project opened my eyes to a rarely discussed form of discrimination--ageism. But, instead of dwelling on ageism as a cultural disease and making suggestions for reform, it profiles the activism of an organization that leads by example. It helped me to recognize the power of old women and the desperate need for true intergenerational activism." - Tony Lo Presti, Policy Advocate, Environmental Health Coalition, San Diego, CA
  • "Abod has done it again!! Extraordinary!! Moving, passionate and courageous, Look us in the Eye, will challenge your ageism and point the path toward a liberatory politics of solidarity with old women." - M. Jacqui Alexander, Professor, Women and Gender Studies, University of Toronto
  • "Incredibly powerful film! It encourages us to examine our stereotypes and prejudices. It uses humor and powerful images to convey the strength and brilliance of old women. Girls and women everywhere must see this film." - Lourdes Torres, Associate Professor, De Paul University
  • "Every girl, every young woman, every woman should see this film and they should bring along the boys and men they know too!" - Krista Lyons-Gould, Publisher , Seal Press

    WHAT'S THE MATTER GIRLIE? (A MENSTRUAL CONVERSATION)

    Interviews of thirteen diverse women, ranging in age from early twenties to early eighties, are woven together into a series of frank discussions of both shared and uncommon experiences from first periods to menopause. This honest communication of raw experience attempts to expose how cultural forces affect the way we live in our bodies. This inquisitive program abstains from judgment while delivering heartfelt and divergent opinions about something that is experienced by almost every woman. In exploring menstruation in such a way, the film is intended not as a definitive statement on the matter, but rather to serve as a starting point for a larger discussion. Utilizing playful animations, archival health films, and academic/medical opinion, this program confronts this still taboo topic with engaging revelations and a little dose of humor.

    Popular thinking says divorce is a temporary crisis in the life of a child, which most children weather with relatively few side effects. This idea may sound comforting, but many researchers have found that it's simply not reality.

    WOMEN WITH ALCOHOL DEPENDENCY - MORE COMMON THAN YOU THINK

    by Dartmouth

    This program profiles women of different ages and backgrounds who are in recovery. Though the incidence of alcoholism is slightly less among women than men, once it develops, this disease tends to progress more rapidly in women. Physiological differences quickly put women at a greater risk for physical complications, some of which are unique to women (breast cancer & bearing a child with fetal alcohol syndrome). Powerful, enlightening, excellent for support groups to see and use for discussions.

    TRANSITIONS THROUGH THE PERIMENOPAUSAL YEARS

    This is a film that anyone going through peri-menopause and their loved ones should see!! An excellent ice breaker to provide support and understanding to women during this very vulnerable time in their lives.

    Until the past century only 15% of women lived beyond the age of 50 - so most never reached menopause. But now, the largest number of women in history are in their 40's and 50's - an age of profound physical and emotional change. "Transitions through the Perimenopausal Years" is an informative and entertaining look at what they are expecting and some of the choices they can make. It deals with how to handle sleep-disturbing night sweats, mood swings and health issues like heavy bleeding and osteoporosis. Will herbs help? Should I eat more soy? Does Ovarian Hormone Therapy keep women feeling good and looking young - or is it dangerous? Is there sex after menopause?
