Freedom's Just Another Word For One Thing Left To Lose.

Awkward twenty-something Farah Mahtab hits the road with her buddies K.J. and Roopa to stump for John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election, hoping the trip will also be her opportunity to lose her virginity. Crisscrossing the culturally divided nation at this decisive post-9/11 moment, these multicultural girls find themselves and their politics unwelcome in many parts of the country. They take inspiration from their friendship and press on in their campaign, even as Farah’s efforts on both political and sexual fronts are continuously thwarted.

Preceded by Makers short on musician and feminist activist – Kathleen Hanna.

Date: Friday, February 7, 9PM
Location: Lehman Auditorium, 202 Altschul Hall

Director Meera Menon and producer Laura Goode will join the audience for a post screening discussion.
