Want some plans for this weekend?
Head over to PAMCUT for an amazing documentary!

Our very own Nisha Burton, film extraordinaire, is premiering her documentary this Saturday. Over the Kitchen Table which reveals the untold story of how her mother Norma Burton was involved in building the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence from grassroots organizing in the 1970s-80s – facing death threats, bombs, and violent opposition while creating a blueprint for resistance movements that remains urgently relevant today. In an era of systematic rollbacks of hard-won rights, Burton’s film demonstrates how small groups of determined people meeting around kitchen tables can create lasting institutional change. The screening will also include Portland filmmaker Courtney Ross’s short film Again and Again, a portrait of the tireless work of a domestic violence advocate and the people she serves. Following both films there will be a panel discussion with Norma Burton along with Nisha, producers of both films, and representatives from the Domestic Violence Resource Center and Bradley Angle.
