Little Stones

The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) Sacramento will host a community screening of the award-winning documentary film, Little Stones at the Kashenberg Ostrow Hayward Library and Cultural Center.

Directed and produced by EMMY® Award-winning filmmaker Sophia Kruz, Little Stones follows Brazilian graffiti artist Panmela Castro, Senegalese rap-singer Sister Fa, Indian dance therapist Sohini Chakraborty, and fashion designer Anna Taylor as they use their art to combat violence against women and to empower women and girls globally— each of whom are contributing a stone to the mosaic of the women’s movement through their art.

Filmed in Senegal, Kenya, Brazil, Germany, India and the United States, Little Stones and the education initiative have been designed to raise awareness about global women’s rights issues, and to celebrate creative, entrepreneurial, and arts-therapy based solutions to the most pressing challenges facing women globally.
