Virtual Talk with Rokafella, Melissa Ulto

All the Ladies Say is a groundbreaking documentary about the lives of B-Girls in Hip Hop. Made by the filmmaker, breakdancer, entrepreneur, educator and activist, Rokafella, the film highlights the lives of six iconic female Break dancers and the challenges and triumphs of carving a niche in a male dominated genre. Dancers from the global scene make cameos as well as female Graffiti writers, MC's and the late DJ Pam The Funkstress.

Stream the film on Friday and then join us for a discussion about the making of the film, how the issues for women in the Hip Hop world have/or have not changed, hear from two of the featured dancers—Aiko Shirakawa and Lady Champ on their lives now—and the plans for a Part Two of the film. Fall Evening Seminars presented by Third World Newsreel in collaboration with the Documentary Forum at CCNY and Full Circle Productions.
