The Delta Sigma Theta International Film Festival
“Clothed in Strength and Dignity”
April 10, 2015 (Atlanta, GA) – The Atlanta Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated in partnership with the Fulton County Arts and Culture Southwest Arts Center will present their international film festival “Clothed in Strength and Dignity” on Saturday, April 25, 2015 from 7:00pm – 9:00 pm. Tickets for the event are $20.00, and is open to the public.
The international film festival will present two films. “Pray the Devil Back to Hell” chronicles the remarkable story of the courageous Liberian women who came together to end a bloody civil war and bring peace to their shattered country. A story of sacrifice, unity and transcendence, this film honors the strength and perseverance of the women of Liberia. Inspiring, uplifting, and most of all motivating, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations. “The Five Most Dangerous Countries in the World for Women” is a documentary film describing the atrocities of genocide against women and children in the countries of Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan, India and Somalia. The film festival will benefit students at the sorority’s elementary school in Cherette, Haiti. For ticket information, please call 404-610-6100 or email dstfilmfest@aol.com.
