FILM- Three (Extra)Ordinary Women

RESERVE HERE: Protected content

The feature documentary film, Three (Extra)Ordinary Women, tells the story of three middle-age women of color who were brought together through friendship and a desire to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro! Taghrid (Terry), a Palestinian American, Pearlette, an Afro Latina, and Tammy an African American, are determined to push themselves to any extreme necessary to change the mainstream narrative by example—and prove that women can do anything they set their minds to.

Each woman endured childhood trauma and poverty which gave birth to a fierce resilience they’ve used to claim their power and place in creating social change. Theirs are but three examples of how gender inequality and systemic racism in the United States continues to disenfranchise people of color. The spirit and tenacity of each woman will be used as a creative catalyst for transforming feelings of worthlessness and doubt into leading with courage and confidence.

Tapping into the warrior within, each woman has found a way to transcend adversity and trauma and achieve her dreams. Climbing “Kili” presents a powerful metaphor for overcoming difficulties in whatever form. T
