By Women, About Women, For Everyone

Key West – The first of five fabulous films is on the docket this Wednesday, March 2, as the Second Annual Key West NOW Women’s Film Festival opens at the Tropic Cinema. “Middle of Nowhere,” Ana DuVernay’s 2012 award-winning film is an intimate glimpse into the life of a Black nurse in LA, whose husband is incarcerated. This stellar film acts as a link between February’s Black History Month and March’s Women’s History Month. 

The festival will continue with “Salt of the Earth” on March 9th, “The Beaches of Agnès” on March 16th, “Daughters of the Dust” on March 23rd . Closing the Festival on March 30th will be the popular and stirring “Whale Rider.”

The Key West Chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) promotes woman’s rights to reproductive health care, fairness in education and employment, freedom from violence, justice for LGBTQIA citizens and life without racism. The Tropic Cinema is an award-winning, independent, non-profit theater showing popular, classic, foreign, regional and experimental films.

All showings begin at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available online or at the door. For everyone’s safety, covid protection policy requires attendees to show a negative PCR done within the past 72 hours or a completed vaccination document and to wear masks.
