Mountains That Take Wing-Angela Davis & Yuri Kochiyama
is an inspiring documentary that spans thirteen years between two women
who share a passion for justice. Through intimate conversations, we
learn about Davis, an internationally renowned scholar-activist and
88-year-old Kochiyama, a revered grassroots community activist and 2005
Nobel Peace Prize nominee. Their shared experience as political
prisoners and their dedication to Civil Rights embody personal and
political experiences as well as the diverse lives of women doing
liberatory cultural work.
