4 PM SCREENING:
Until the Violence Stops
Extraordinarily empowering, heartbreakingly funny and a Sundance favorite, this documentary chronicles how Eve Ensler's hit off-Broadway solo show The Vagina Monologues grew into V-Day, an international grassroots movement to stop violence against women and girls. If you haven’t yet seen this film, it’s a must. Inspiring, moving and important, this film is a testimony to what’s possible on this planet when caring women stand up in their power to create change. See how Eve’s message has instigated action around the globe, and celebrate the brave women who are walking courageously towards a new world where all women are safe from violence.

The panelists' bios are all quite impressive -- please take a look at the site.
