WVC 030 Interview: Anna from Comiso, Italy

    Anna was a part of the Women's Peace Camp in Comiso, Italy that got its inspiration from the women at Greenham Common Peace Camp in England as well as those involved in the Women's Pentagon Actions in the U.S.

*This video was transferred to miniDV tape from the original 3/4" tape. Although title and credit pages have been added, the content has not been edited.  As with all Women’s Video Collective (WVC) footage, video and sound quality vary greatly due to the age of the material (25 years between original and digital), the quality of the tapes and equipment to begin with (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 peace encampment that summer of 1983 and especially to Judi Kelemen and Nancy Clover for storing, and then making available, WVC's videos and photographs. Many, 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.
