Various scenes of encampment daily life, Carolyn Mow fielding questions about plans for the August 1st action.
*This video was
transferred to miniDV tape from the original 3/4" tape. The content has not been edited. As
with all Women’s Video Collective (WVC) footage from the summers of 1983 and 1984, video and sound quality
vary greatly due to the age of the material, the quality of the original tapes and equipment (used
and borrowed), and the setting itself (outdoors in the heat and wind on
uneven ground). Herstory owes a large debt of gratitude to all the
women who helped in ways great and small to document the Women's Encampment for a Future of Peace and Justice and especially to Judi Kelemen and Nancy
Clover for storing, and then making available, WVC's videos and photographs.
Many thanks as well to filmmakers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal who
graciously donated their equipment, expertise, and Brooklyn studio so
the Peace Encampment Herstory Project could digitize WVC’s 130-tape
collection.
