Sistah Boom: Forty Years in the Streets
Sistah Boom is a women’s samba marching band that has been showing up in the streets at Bay Area demonstrations for 40 years – bringing power, energy, and spirit. The story of Sistah Boom is one of women’s empowerment, queer liberation, and marching for social justice. This sound-rich documentary chronicles the four decades of social movements the band took part in, from the Gay Pride Parade to demonstrations against ICE incarceration.

SAN JOSE The Film & Theatre Department at San José State University present “Not Your Model Minority: The Art and Activism of Renee Tajima-Peña” from Feb, 16 to April 22.
For nearly 30 years, documentary filmmaker, producer, and activist Renee Tajima-Peña has chronicled movements for racial and reproductive justice in the United States. Her films are part of a larger Asian American alternative cinema movement – a movement committed to challenging the myth of Asian Americans as a “model minority” by creating and distributing media focused on social justice, intersectionality, and coalition-building among Asian, Black, and Latinx communities.
