Maristela Duarte Smith | Healing Black Communities | Sexual Violence Prevention

September 16, 2008

NO! is a must see! It addresses the issue of intra-racial rape with depth and elegance. The discussion is enriched with the testimonial of several intellectuals and activists within the Black movement, who courageously, expose us to the terrifying reality of trauma and the possibility of transforming suffering into a tool against oppression.

NO! challenges the viewer to reflect about a reality that, although obscure for some, continues to affect several women in our communities.

Besides, NO! is a healing tool that helps all of us in the Americas and beyond become whole by integrating feelings of guilt or shame that may have been buried for a while. It is a jewel that must be watched, discussed and appreciated by all.
