LOS ANGELES, September 29, 2018 - LEFT ON PEARL, an award winning documentary with “Me,Too” overtones, will be entered into competition at this year’s LAFemme International Film Festival and screen on October 12th@ 2PM at the Regal Cinemas at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles. The acclaimed film takes us back to 1971 when International Women’s Day marchers took over a Harvard Building in Cambridge, MA. for a women’s center, on land sought by the largely African-American Riverside neighborhood for affordable housing? How and why did hundreds of women of diverse backgrounds decide to take a radical, collective action that would change their lives? How did this action intersect with the surrounding African-American neighborhood’s fight against displacement by Harvard University’s expansion? What is the legacy of this action almost 50 years later?
