Gloria Steinem to host fundraiser for documentary

Posted on February 25, 2010 by Staff

Gloria Steinem calls it “the best film I’ve ever seen on domestic violence.” To back those words up, Steinem will be traveling to Chapel Hill this weekend to host a fundraiser in support of Private Violence, a feature-length doc from local filmmakers Cynthia Hill and Rebecca Cerese and domestic-violence advocate and survivor Kit Gruelle, in which Steinem appears.

The event will take place this Sunday from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Spice Street in University Mall, with a minimum donation of $25 per person.

Also speaking will be feminist and author Ann Jones, National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence Executive Director Deborah Tucker, Pulitzer Prize-winning author George Lardner and domestic-violence survivors Fran Bumgarner and Vernetta Cockerham. Poet/musician Shirlette Ammons and singer/songwriter Greg Humphreys will perform. The event also will include an auction of memorabilia signed by Steinem. Light hors d’oeuvres will be served with a cash bar available.

For more information, call 824-0811 or email privateviolence@gmail.com
