Product Description
Extraordinarily empowering and heartbreakingly funny, the Sundance favorite V-DAY: UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS chronicles how Eve Ensler's hit Broadway solo show The Vagina Monologues grew into V-Day, an international grassroots movement to stop violence against women and girls. The first of its kind, The Vagina Monologues has been widely recognized as "a celebration of women's sexuality and a condemnation of its violation" (The New York Times) and praised as "frank, humorous and moving" (Chicago Tribune). Over eight hundred cities around the world have participated in V-Day by staging benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues. From locales as diverse as New York, the Phillippines and Kenya, director Abby Epstein's UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS features emotionally charged interviews and readings by everyday and celebrity women (including Rosie Perez, Salma Hayek, Rosario Dawson, Jane Fonda and LisaGay Hamilton), all of whom courageously reveal their intimate experiences and bond together to break the silence that surrounds abuse. More than just a group testimonial, UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS is a moving celebration of community awareness that leaves us with the hope that change can happen. DVD Features: Deleted Scenes/Locations; V-Day Spotlight Campaigns; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing documentary , December 14, 2004

By	Unka_Bynin "Brian" (State College, PA USA) - See all my reviews

Whether you have seen The Vagina Monologues in person or not, this documentary covers the global impact of these performances as a way to increase awareness about, and encourage active solutions to, men's violence against women. The film follows the growth of The Vagina Monologues in 5 communities all over the world (the U.S., the Philippines, and Kenya). This is a powerful film--you will be changed after watching it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful and movie video, April 19, 2006

By	A. Denholtz "Amysita" (New Brunswick, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A must see for any fan of the Vagina Monologues. After seeing this documentary, I brought it to my VM cast and shared it with my co-performers. This video not only brings violence against women into a powerful light, but it also brings a fuller perspective to the impact of activism, especially the Vagina Monologues. This DVD is better than the original television broadcast with special updates about some of the global VDay beneficiaries.
An astounding show which will bring you to tears, bring you momentous joys, and will challenge you to be a part of the action to help come together as we end violence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent look at what women can do..., March 20, 2006

By	Sam (Albany, NY) - See all my reviews

This documentary was a spectacular example of what ordinary women can do when they unite and are determined to change the world around them. I also applaud the women in the film with their candor and honesty. When I showed this film, many of the responses I got were amazed that famous women had experienced abuse. I think it is great for "ordinary" women to discover that even "famous" women have their obstacles and struggles.
