Forty Years

• Directed by

Irene Lusztig

For the past two years, I have been filming people (mostly women and mostly strangers) reading letters sent to the editor of Ms. Magazine-the first mainstream feminist magazine in the US-in the 1970s, in the cities where the letters were originally written. In this short film, four women read letters about sexual violence that were sent to Ms. Magazine between 1974-1976.
