Home Alive is a documentary about the social justice and anti-violence group Home Alive, founded in the wake of Mia Zapata’s death. It’s important to note that it isn’t a “look at this women’s empowerment group they started for their friend” kind of thing. As Roni Tartlett notes in the trailer, they worked to understand violence in a systemic way. (I know I am always going on about Ka-Mer, but the work is very similar in approach.)
Home Alive also functioned as a collective, with all of the hassle involved, and it’s important that the documentary is also going to look at what it is like to keep something like that going for seven years. (HA shut down in 2010.)
I think it is going to be really smart and can’t wait to see it! THey have a kickstarter going, if you are able to support.
