Should we watch another? I find myself asking this question often. Like many, I watch TV shows online. It seems obvious. All the shows I always felt out of the loop of are at my wireless fingertips, for either free or semi-free access. This may very well be the definition of the “on-demand” generation. But […]

The Davis Feminist Film Festival is returning to town next week in what will mark its seventh annual showing.
