i just wanted to let you know about two films playing tomorrow in seelye hall at
6:30 at smith college as a part of the northampton film festival.

Up the Ridge
Amelia Kirby and Nick Szuberia · 57 min.
What is the social impact of moving hundreds of thousands of inner-city minority
offenders to remote rural prisons? Political agendas and expediencies result in
human rights violations and bring communities into racial and cultural
conflict, with tragic consequences.

Cruel and Unusual
Dan Hunt, Janet Baus, Reid Williams · 67 min.
An unflinching look at the lives of transgender women in men's prisons. Linda,
Anna, Ashley, Yolanda and Ophelia overcome humiliation, denial of treatment,
solitary confinement, and rape, but never lose sight of their goal of fully
becoming women.
