BELLA RINGS TRUE
The Donald M. Ephraim Sun & Stars International Film Festival© (SASIFF) is hosting a special summer screening of “BELLA!,” an award-winning documentary about trailblazing Congresswoman Bella Abzug, on the 104th anniversary of her birth: July 24 at 4 p.m. at Cinemark Boynton Beach 14. The 2022 winner of the Library of Congress/Ken Burns Prize for Film, “BELLA!” celebrates the fiery feminist who entered Congress in 1970 ready for a fight. With her trademark hat and Bronx swagger, Bella Abzug upended the Washington patriarchy, battling for women’s equality, civil rights, and LGBTQ protections. Using never-before-seen home movies, audio diaries, and a vast trove of newly discovered news footage, this gripping documentary features new interviews with Barbra Streisand, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinem, Lily Tomlin, Maxine Waters, Shirley MacLaine, Phil Donahue, Marlo Thomas, Charlie Rangel, Scott Stringer, and David Dinkins.
