LEFT ON PEARL is a 55 minute documentary about a highly significant but little-known event in the history of the women's liberation movement, the 1971 takeover and occupation of a Harvard University-owned building by hundreds of Boston area women. The film highlights several intertwined stories: the need for women's space, the demands of the predominantly African-American Riverside community for affordable housing, and Harvard University's expansion into working class Cambridge communities.The 888 Women's History Project is creating a rich archive of the development and impact of the women's liberation movement in Boston. The entire archive will be accessible to students and the larger community through study guides and interactive media to be used in tandem with the film, LEFT ON PEARL.
