Date: October 28

When Jennifer Laude, a Filipina trans woman, is brutally murdered by a U.S. Marine, three women intimately invested in the case-an activist attorney, a transgender journalist and Jennifer’s mother-galvanize a political uprising, pursuing justice and taking on hardened histories of US imperialism.

All are welcome to participate in this documentary screening and conversation exploring gender and justice, gender-based violence, and the experiences of transgender people in the context of U.S. militarism and imperialism in the Philippines.

PANELISTS:

• Judith Mirkinson, President of the “Comfort Women” Justice Coalition and Cofounder, Gabriela Network
• Victoria Reyes, Assistant Professor, Department of Gender & Sexuality Studies, University of California, Riverside

This film will have live commentary followed by a short post film discussion.
