During her time at Facebook\, Haugen became increasingly alarmed by the choices the company made prioritizing their own profits over public safety and putting people’s lives at risk. As a last resort and at great personal risk\, she made the courageous decision to blow the whistle on Facebook.

SUMMARY:My Name is Andrea
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by the UCLA Center for the Study of Women|Streisand Center and Hammer Museum. \nMy Name is Andrea is a hybrid feature documentary about one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century. Andrea Dworkin offered a revolutionary analysis of male supremacy with a singular urgency and iconoclastic flair. Decades before #MeToo\, Dworkin called out the pervasiveness of sexism and rape culture\, and the ways it impacts every woman’s daily life. \nShaped by the values of justice and equality learned in the civil rights movement\, the film focuses on key moments from the life of this fearless fighter who demanded that women be seen as fully human. The film features performances by Ashley Judd\, Soko\, Amandla Stenberg\, Andrea Riseborough\, and Christine Lahti\, woven in with rare\, electrifying archival footage of Dworkin. \nFollowed by a conversation with director Pratibha Parmar and Karen Tongsen\, Chair of USC’s Department of Gender & Sexuality Studies.\n2022\, dir: Pratibha Parmar\, DCP\, color\, 90 minutes \nView flyer. \nTicketing: Admission is free.
