DESCRIPTION:SF BAY IMC screens International Womyn's Day Films!  Come celebrate 
 International Women's Day with a special screening of women's films!  The 
 SF Bay Independent Media Center will be screening:  Hip Hop Gurlz by Tamika 
 Guishard  Straight from New York, one girl decides to question the 
 representation of women in hip-hop videos and culture. She takes her 
 questions straight to the top in her quest to see women represented with 
 respect and honesty.  Saadia - by Tarik Cherkaoui  An animated short 
 narrated by a Saudi Arabian woman who risked life and limb to become a spy 
 for the Resistance.  The Cucumber Incident  LA filmmakers Fireant Films, 
 Bonita Makuch and Melodie Calvert created a feature length documentary 
 piece about what came to be known as "The Cucumber Incident", where three 
 women become vigilantes after the legal system abandons them.  The Cucumber 
 Incident chronicles a family's struggle for justice after learning that 
 their 5-year-old girl is being sexually molested by a family member. 
 Increasingly frustrated by the inaction of Children's Services, the child's 
 grandmother, Mary Franks intervenes. Mary is joined by her sister-in-law 
 and daughters in an odd and impassioned act of retribution that results in 
 charges of rape and kidnapping against this matriarchal posse. Unintended 
 consequences abound as the family is cast into a dizzying maze of media 
 sensationalism and legal machination. In poignant and often painful detail, 
 this story reveals a schism between the codified laws of society and the 
 primal instinct to protect our children by any means necessary. Issues of 
 class, race and gender are explored in a tragic statement about the systems 
 that run our world.  For more information on women's issues, please check
