CATEGORY: WOMAN follows four athletes forced out of competition by regulations that profile and target women athletes, and the subsequent devastation to their bodies, and livelihoods. But these individuals are emboldened by a conviction to stand up against this violation of their human rights. Following up on her award-winning film Toxic Beauty, Phyllis Ellis exposes an industry controlled by men putting women’s lives at risk while this policing of women’s bodies in sport remains, in a more nefarious way, under the guise of fair play.Film starts at 5 PM at WWU's Communications Facility (516 High St., Bellingham), Room 115, and will be followed by speaker panel at 6:30 including writer and director Phyllis Ellis, Dr. Jessyca Arthur-Cameselle (HHD), Dr. Kimi Bryson-Reilly (WGSS), Dr. Dan Pollard (Biology).
The event celebrates the 50th anniversary of WWU’s Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies program and is presented by CASCADIA in collaboration with Western Libraries and Biology Western. It is cosponsored by Health & Human Development and the Margaret Aitken Speaker Series Fund. Film is free and open to the public.
