Last week I wrote with frustration about the lack of public voices from feminist organizations and especially from women in the speaking out against setting Roman Polanski free.
I knew in my heart that many women felt the way I did and I wanted to hear from them.
Some have now spoken. I have decided to link to women in the entertainment business who have taken a stand on this issue. I will also make this site available for those women who want to have a voice but don’t have a blog. Send me your thoughts and I will post it as long as you are a real person and a woman. I will also post pieces (not tweets) anonymously if people are too nervous to put their name out in the public on this issue for fears of retribution. If I can confirm that you are real (so if I don’t know who you are send me your bio or a link to something you have done), you will get posted.
The list is still way too short.
Here’s what I have as of Oct 6:
Why Are Female Directors Silent About Roman Polanski’s Arrest?, Aviva Kempner (documentary director)
Art Is Not Enough, Allison Anders (director)
I Work in Hollywood. I Do Not Support Roman Polanski. Even A Little Bit, Sarah Fain (TV writer/executive producer)
