This powerful documentary tells stories of women from communities around the world which “host” long-term US military bases. These women and their families have personally suffered the tragic hidden costs of US military bases to their environment, health, land and personal safety.  This beautiful film, produced by Women for Genuine Security and directed by award-winning filmmaker, Lina Hoshino, captures seven women’s courageous stories of transformation as they emerge as inspiring leaders who create hope, change, and genuine security for their people.

We will be showing selections from the film which focus on these seven women:

Philippines:  Alma Bulowan, Buklod Center

Guam:  Lisa Natividad, Guahan Coalition for Peace and Justice

Okinawa:  Tomiko,  Okinawa Women Act Up Against Military Violence
