“Through captivating images of Mount Kilimanjaro and eye-catching animation, Three (Extra)Ordinary Women tells the personal stories of three women of color who have collectively overcome poverty, abuse, systemic racism, and political occupation through practicing forgiveness, helping others and immersing themselves in nature. As they brave their biggest physical obstacle yet – climbing Mount Kilimanjaro – trekking up Africa’s tallest peak through arctic temperatures and some of the highest altitude on the planet, they discover they still have emotional hurdles to climb.
This film is timely in light of the conflict taking place between Israel and Palestine by exploring the Palestinian occupation and systemic racism in the United States, and how both have equally disenfranchised people of color. But the message is not about more divisiveness, it is about how tough-yet achievable-forgiveness, healing, overcoming, and reconciliation can be.”
Join us on Monday, October 28th at the Covina Center for the Performing Arts (location of the Laugh Factory) as we celebrate the resiliency, courage and power of these extraordinary women and ask ourselves, “what is my personal Kilimanjaro?”
