This February, SVPN celebrates the women of Sun Valley with a special issue dedicated to exploring the breadth and depth of the feminine power unique to this mountain town. February 22-28, the annual Family of Woman Film Festival, in its ninth year, delivers an astonishing slate of speakers and international films that invite participants to consider the situation of women and children locally and globally. For seven stimulating days, Sun Valley convenes a connective community of women who are dedicating their lives to improving the lives of women and children at every level. From Christy Turlington Burns’ drive to assure women have access to maternal health care to heroic radio activist, Meren Estefanos, who works around the clock to save kidnapped Eritrean refugees. From a talk by Sarah Costa, Executive Director of the Women’s Refugee Commission to an art exhibit and talk by Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, Stephanie Sinclair, whose work documents the plight of child brides. With a slate of much-heralded films that tell stories unique to women across the globe, the Family of Woman Film Festival is a celebration of the feminine force that is such an integral part of this community.
