Domestic Violence Awareness Month Film Screening of “Sisters Rising”

October 25, 2022 6:30 pm
Virtual Event

On October 25th, 2022 the Maryland Health Care Coalition Against Domestic Violence presented a screening of “Sisters Rising” in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Following the screening, there was a discussion with the film maker, Willow O’Feral, regarding the intersections of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and discrimination towards Indigenous women in the United States. The discussion will also draw attention to the negative health impacts of these types of violence. The event ended with a Q&A bewteen Willow and participants.

More About the Film:

“Sisters Rising” is a powerful feature documentary about six Native American women reclaiming personal & tribal sovereignty. Native American women are 2.5 times more likely to experience sexual assault than all other American women. 1 in 3 Native women report having been raped during her lifetime and 86% of the offenses are committed by non-Native men. These perpetrators exploit gaps in tribal jurisdictional authority and target Native women as ‘safe victims’. Sisters Rising follows six women who refuse to let this pattern of violence continue in the shadows: a tribal cop in the midst of the North Dakota oil boom, an attorney fighting to overturn restrictions on tribal sovereignty, an Indigenous women’s self-defense instructor, grassroots advocates working to influence legislative change, and the author of the first anti-sex trafficking code to be introduced to a reservation’s tribal court. Their stories shine an unflinching light on righting injustice on both an individual and systemic level.
​
“The abhorrent violence that is a constant in the lives of Indigenous peoples impacts Indigenous women first,” says Co-producer Jaida Grey Eagle (Oglala Lakota), “We are on the frontlines of an ongoing legacy of violent colonization, and it is vitally important that the world see and hear us.” Learn more about the film here.
