CALL HER GANDA: The story of jennifer laudePJ Raval (he/him), the internationally acclaimed director/ producer of CALL HER GANDA, an award-winning documentary about the murder of Jennifer Laude, says, “Screening CALL HER GANDA in New Bedford for Transgender Day of Remembrance is of the utmost significance. Sharing the story of Jennifer Laude in the hometown of the person who took her life offers a rare and an important moment to educate and to heal. It is encouraging to witness this community acknowledging and confronting the senseless violence committed against the trans community and demonstrating an impassioned commitment to ensuring that Jennifer’s tragic story will never be repeated. In remembering Jennifer, we can understand that each of our actions matter and that we have the ability to produce positive change.”
Raval made the documentary CALL HER GANDA free for everyone to watch on Thursday, November 19, Friday, November 20, and Saturday, November 21. |
