Full Video of “War Zone” Online

August 14, 2012 By HKearl

For the first time, if you are over 17 years old, you can access the full version of the ground-breaking street harassment documentary War Zone online. The 76-minute documentary was originally released in 1998 by Maggie Hadleigh-West, who turns her camera on men in the same way that they turn their aggression on her.

Please note that in addition to showing potentially triggering street harassment scenes, near the end of the film there is an extremely jarring 9-1-1 call by a rape survivor that may be triggering to survivors and their loved ones.

BACK UP! Street harassment video

“Sidewalks, street crossings, corridors, and concrete are hostile territory for women and girls who experience verbal and physical assault from men on a daily basis.

This is the official trailer for the feature length documentary that explores how women deal with this daily violence. It will especially look at how women are fighting back and defining their own personal and public spaces.The documentary adds to a bustling dialogue on gender and body politics, as it delves into women’s rights to exist freely in society.

We just edited the first 30-minute version of the documentary and are in continual production. If you have experienced, witnessed, been involved in, and/or taken a stand against street harassment and have a perspective or story to share, PLEASE contact Nijla Mumin at Nijla1@gmail.com. Please also watch out for BACK UP! at a film festival or community forum near you!”
