'Persepolis' is a touching tale of self-doubt and discovery
 

If you're a feminist who enjoys watching movies with like-minded people, check out Feminist Film Fridays at the University of Arizona's Women's Resource Center.

You'll see free films that are either about social justice, feature women or have general feminist themes during the bi-weekly series. 

The idea behind the film series was to provide day-time programming for the resource center, UA students on campus who frequent the center and the feminist community at large, said Kim Dominguez, coordinator of feminist engagement. 

"WRC has a new coordinator of feminist engagement this year [that's Kim☝], so I planned and selected these films as a way for me to hang out in the center and spend more time with students in a sort of post-learning environment that is casual and with snacks to foster an intersectional feminist community," Dominguez said. 

Films will be screened for free at 2 p.m. every other Friday, Feb. 2 through April 27 at the Women's Resource Center, on the fourth floor of the Student Union Memorial Center, 1303 E. University Blvd.

Revolutionary/black power activist/academic Angela Davis is among the people revisited in "Black Power Mixtape, 1967-1975."
