Quote:
"Using Studio D's hallmark techniques (action filmed in real time, women addressing the camera directly, clips spliced from television news footage and from other documentaries to provide background and context, female narration, [Dionne] Brand reading her own script), Sisters in the Struggle reveals in angry detail how Black women resist hegemonic discrimination that is institutionalized by government policy and enforced by the police they hire."
