Please join Marlene Galán-Woods with Nadine Basha, Terri Camberlango, Michele Halyard, Shelly Hubbard, Deborah Lippmann, Kathryn MacLeod, Felecia Rotellini, Maya Thompson, Kate Wells, and Katie Wilson for a special benefit screening of the Oscar-nominated short film, RED, WHITE AND BLUE.

11:00 AM · Saturday, October 5th

Harkins Theatres Shea 14 · 7354 E Shea Blvd · Scottsdate, AZ 85260

*A portion of your ticket price will be tax deductible.

The screening will be followed by a conversation Marlene Galán-Woods in conversation with filmmaker Nazrin Choudhury, Eloisa Lopez (Executive Director, Pro-Choice Arizona and the Abortion Fund of Arizona), Morgan Finkelstein, and Dr. Sharon Thompson.

Host Committee members include Sandra Bernhard, Lorraine Bracco, Katie Couric, Jane Fonda, Jenny Mollen Biggs, Octavia Spencer, Brittany Snow & Chrissy Teigen.

Proceeds from the October 5th event in Arizona support the film’s impact campaign benefiting:

Pro-Choice Arizona and the Abortion Fund of Arizona center abolition and reproductive justice values while utilizing the reproductive justice framework to prioritize community needs to advance reproductive equity, pregnancy and family justice, and abortion access for all folks living in Arizona through direct service programs, education, advocacy, mutual aid, and research.

The Purple Parlor Fund is deploying financial capital in support of RED, WHITE AND BLUE’s impact initiative, bringing the film, its dialogue, questions, and impactful story to audiences who have been traditionally closed to the conversation. This particular opportunity will be especially potent in states and locations that are not unequivocally partisan, often referred to as ‘purple,’ where RED, WHITE AND BLUE presents a possibility for common ground and civil reconciliation. Target audiences will be comprised of people from different faiths, economic realities, party affiliations, and levels of political awareness, engaging in discussions that explore how legislation introduced or enacted after Dobbs is impacting the lives, health, and safety of friends, neighbors, and loved ones, including in ways that some may find surprising. The Purple Parlor Fund’s primary goal is to spark many personal and private conversations—beyond the in-theater or talkback experience—which can subsequently take place within families or subsets of communities. Collectively, these many interruptions, in aggregate, can make a meaningful difference this fall and beyond as we head into another pivotal election where issues of economic justice, reproductive rights, and the right to one’s bodily autonomy will disproportionately impact the lives of so many.

★ ☆ ★ RED, WHITE AND BLUE will be headed to San Francisco, Phoenix, Denver, Washington, D.C and Nashville in the upcoming weeks. We will be adding screenings benefitting new partners around the country and dates will be announced shortly. Sign up for updates at rwbscreenings.com.
