Now Available: ‘Audre Lorde - The Berlin Years 1984 -1992′
Now available, Audre Lorde - The Berlin Years 1984 -1992 is an untold chapter of the lesbian activist and poet’s life in which she catalyzed the first movement of Black Germans to claim their identity as Afro-Germans with pride. As she was inspiring Afro-Germans she was also encouraging the White German feminist movement to take a hard look at their own racism.
Many hours of video and audio clips were recorded while Lorde taught, spoke and met formally and informally in a wide variety of venues. In addition to the historic significance of this never before seen footage, it also portrays Lorde “offstage” enjoying the Berlin scene.
The film also explores Lorde’s battle with terminal cancer. In Berlin, the city which became a third home for her, she discovered naturopathic treatments which prolonged her life eight years longer than the six month prognosis from her American doctors.
The U.S. version is available at dragadesign.com.
