Connie - the powers and possibilities of community engagement, 25min., USA
Directed by Dorothea Braemer
“Connie” is a 30-minute documentary about the life and work of 91-year-old activist, women’s advocate, and inspirational leader Constance Bowles Eve. Her most important accomplishment was the creation of Women for Human Rights and Dignity, Inc. (WHRD) an initiative that helped incarcerated women by offering alternatives to incarceration, mentoring, job training, housing, and more. Connie also worked hand in hand with her husband Arthur O. Eve, who was Deputy Speaker of the New York State Assembly from 1979-2002. The film seeks to inspire with Connie’s can-do spirit and deeply lived belief in collective action.
