The Pixel Project Selection 2011

      The Pixel Project is a nonprofit organization "whose mission is to raise awareness, funds, and volunteer power for the cause to end violence against women using social media, online strategies, and new technologies" (Pixel Project). The Pixel Project created a 16 for 16 campaign. This campaign looks at 16 films, documentaries, and TV documentaries that look at issues of sexual violence against women. While about 4 of the films look at forms of violence that are different than sexual violence, the rest do look at sexual violence. The forms of sexual violence can range from things such as spousal abuse in Fried Green Tomatoes and What's Love Got To Do With It to rape in UMOJA-No Men Allowed and Sex Crimes Unit. I think that looking at movies and documentaries is a good way to see sexual violence situations in ways the people can relate to. To see the full list of films, documentaries, and TV documentaries that made the list and their trailers click here.
