benzie area women’s history project

See a list of programs and participants since 1983.

For its 36th year, the Benzie Area Women’s History Project (BAWHP) will be collaborating with the Benzie Area Zonta Club for a program in April.

On Tuesday, April 10, at 7 p.m. at the Garden Theater in Frankfort, the two groups will present a documentary film, directed by Sofia Cruz.

Join us for a screening of Little Stones, an award-winning documentary that unites the personal narratives of four women around the world using art to create positive change in their communities. From a graffiti artist speaking out against domestic violence in the favelas of Brazil to a dancer rehabilitating sex-trafficking survivors in India, each of these women is contributing a stone to the mosaic of the women’s movement through their art.

“I always feel the movement is a sort of mosaic. Each of us puts in one little stone.”—Alice Paul, Women’s Rights Activist

The Benzie Area Zonta Club and the Women’s History Project would like to support and celebrate Benzie community members working for human rights, gender equality, anti-bullying or other social or environmental change. Benzie Advocacy projects will then be spotlighted at this event on April 10. A limited space will be provided for project display and promotion. Visit our facebook page “Benzie Area Little Stones Advocacy Project” to see how local citizens and groups are using creative ways for positive change in our community.

This documentary discusses mature-oriented topics. Adolescents are welcome to attend only with a parent. There is no charge for admission, but donations to either the BAWHP or Zonta scholarships will be happily accepted.

This event is wheelchair accessible and hearing assistive technology is available, however the film is not captioned.
