Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992 at Hackney Picturehouse

Audre Lorde once began an address to a small group in Berlin with the words: ‘I am a black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet.' It was here that she led the way to defining the Afro-German movement, and she left a legacy of strength and constructive difference. This documentary incorporates archive material and interviews with Dagmar Schultz’s previously unreleased personal video archive, creating a portrait fortified by activism and stunning in its insight into her private world. Lorde’s own voice shines through this inspiring film, filling us with her poetry and conviction.
