OUTCRY: Alchemists of Rage Film Screening

OUTCRY: Alchemists of Rage follows Whitney Bradshaw as she photographs women mid-scream in cathartic group sessions where long-silenced stories conjure rage, sorrow, and joy. An activist and sexual abuse survivor, Whitney uses art to fuel action for women’s rights, culminating in a grassroots fight for abortion access in Ohio. The film offers a visceral rallying cry for the revolutionary power of women’s voices.

The film is directed by Clare Major and produced by Jen Rainin and Rivkah Beth Medow, co-founders of Frankly Speaking Films, and by Whitney Bradshaw.
