Description

This is a PRIVATE PREVIEW SCREENING PARTY of a documentary film, produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker ANTON EVANGELISTA on the life and work of internationally acclaimed author, DANIELA GIOSEFFI, whose pioneering activism has given irrepressible voice for civil rights, eco-feminism, peace and climate justice. As the daughter of a poor but tenacious Italian immigrant father and war-orphaned mother, she learned to triumph over adversity and survive abuse and discrimination. From her traumatic run-in with the Ku Klux Klan during the civil rights movement, her near demise from an emergency Cesarean gone wrong, through her struggles as an eco-feminist and anti-war activist, to her marching for climate justice, Daniela’s story exemplifies commitment. As the daughter of an immigrant father who reached for the American Dream, she championed a better image for the Italian American, against cruel stereotyping. Along the way her work was praised by Carl Sagan, Grace Paley, Allen Ginsberg, George Plimpton, Geraldine Ferraro, Galway Kinnell, Gov. Mario Cuomo and many others. Grace Cavalieri, host of the Library of Congress radio show, said: “Gioseffi is one of a school of strong epic poets. Few women take on the page like a Whitman, Langston Hughes or Allen Ginsberg.” Her groundbreaking anthology, On Prejudice; A Global Perspective, with her essay on the dynamics of prejudice made her a multicultural pioneer who won a World Peace Award, presented at the United Nations. Her international compendium Women on War won an American Book Award and is a women studies classic in print for 25 years. The NY Times called it “a book that should be translated into all languages of humankind.” Madrid’s El Pais, said: “Daniela Gioseffi is a vital international author, dedicated to planetary survival.” The film with its surprising ending inspires us to light a candle rather than rage against the darkness and shows how anyone can make a difference in their own way: "To save everything from climate crisis, we need everyone everywhere!"
