Margaret Mead Film Festival

As engaging as many of the works are in a typical Mead Film Festival, not all offerings are suited to all viewers. Some of this year’s selections contained imagery that is disturbing and even shocking. Not gratuitously, but because their topics make such treatment necessary.

Act of love

One such film is “Act of love”, directed by Karin Junger, whose compassionate study of African Female circumcision combines interviews with small amounts of graphic footage
