In honor of Women's History Month, the African Studies Center, in collaboration with the Center for Gender in a Global Context (GenCen), presents four films which shine a light on women in Africa and the African Diaspora. 

This film series bring a critical eye to issues impacting women on a day-to-day basis, including leadership, justice, and perseverance. By combining these films with critical analysis by experts within and beyond the MSU community, we hope to expand understandings of women throughout the Diaspora.
