caamedia:The director of this documentary also has another good documentary in which Grace Lee Boggs appears as well. It’s called “The Grace Lee Project” (trailer) and it’s about stereotypes, religion, and a host of other topics and it’s all centered around her search to meet other Asian women named Grace Lee. I really enjoyed it.
American Revolutionary: The Life of Grace Lee Boggs unfolds like a layered conversation. Director Grace Lee was working on The Grace Lee Project, seeking stories from Asian American women who share a common name with her. In a moment of serendipity, Grace Lee met Grace Lee Boggs; a social activist born in 1915, feminist, supporter of the black power movement, lover of good questions, and idol to many. What emerged from their initial meeting became a decade-long project of conversations and sharing stories. Lee captures candid and intimate sides of Boggs and the flux of activism, revolution, inner reflection, and structural change. As Boggs narrates histories of activism and community in Detroit, she also provides her refreshing and restorative wisdoms on spiritual and social transformation.Can we talk about how CAAM gif-ed Grace Lee Boggs.
