It seems like there are a few interesting movies coming out that are challenging the "mainstream". I've been ready about the politics of location, the power of the oppositional gaze, and other different feminist and classist theories in my classes that I had never though about. I think this is a new leaf in my life. I found myself mumbling about my own location while I washed the dishes. Brand new days ahead.


I'm really interested in this movie:

We all go through transitions in life, whether it's a career change, or moving, but for Davina Wan, hers has been very extreme - from the gang life to a "normal" life. Excuse My Gangsta Ways is a visual poetic documentary portrait on Davina Wan, a Chinese American woman, who was a former gang member from the 1990s Lower East Side. With interviews from her grandmother and godfather, we will take a look at the person she was and the person she has become, where fate and inspiration endure.
