On Tuesday, February 27, at 7 p.m., Little Stones will be shown in the  Harold Prince Theatre, at the Annenberg Center. Little Stones weaves together the personal narratives of four women from across the world using art to empower females and survivors of gender-based violence. The women contribute a stone to the mosaic of the women’s rights movement through their art.

Directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Sophia Kruz and cinematographer Meena Singh, Little Stones was produced over a period of 18 months in Senegal, Kenya, Brazil, Germany, India and the United States. The film and accompanying education initiative strive to raise awareness about global women’s rights issues, and to celebrate creative, entrepreneurial and arts-therapy based solutions to the most pressing challenges facing women all over the world. The film won Best Documentary at the Vail Film Festival, Best Foreign Documentary at the Female Eye Film Festival, and an Award of Excellence from Impact Docs.

Content Advisory: Please note that this film deals with different forms of gender-based violence. The content may be triggering to survivors and generally upsetting to others.
