Description:
This summer, 200 active feminists from all over the United States and Canada came to Lyndonville, Vermont to attend Sagaris, the first independent institute for the study of radical feminist thought. This program includes interviews with Sagaris students and teachers, excerpts from taped classes, and readings from the analysis written by the August 7th Survival Community, the group that found it necessary to disassociate from Sagaris in order to make a political statement. Produced by Marcia Jo Danab and Helene Verna Schiff. Technical production by Peter Zanger and Dave Marx. Producer's note: Good resource materials for women's studies courses.
