Red Tent Movie: "Things We Don't Talk About"

“Things We Don’t Talk About” (Fall 2012) is a groundbreaking feature length documentary that shows how the Red Tent, a red fabric space is empowering women. The film documents the things women hide, the things that bring them pain and joy, and for many it is a place to be honest for the first time in their life. “Things We Don’t Talk About” seeks to humanize the stories in the red tent—to put a face on the space.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Dear Red Tent Movie Followers,

I apologize for the confusion that has arisen due to the “30 days to fundraise” comments in the “Things We Don’t Talk About” trailer. Many viewers have expressed their concern that they may have actually missed the donation window. I will gladly accept donations at any time. And please know that I am extremely grateful to have your support. In order to finance all that I need to do to complete the film I would certainly appreciate your donation as soon as you can make them. I hope that this message helps clarify some of the confusion. If you still have questions, please feel free to contact me. I thank you for your support!

Let's Build Something Together!

If all the women in the world lived together in a city of many types of buildings (some tall and well-known, some small and specialized, some old and full of history) then the building representing the movie “Things We Don’t Talk About: Healing Narratives from the Red Tent” would be an architectural jewel in the center of town. Although small as of yet, it is built with precious woods that will support incredible growth, rising one “story” at a time. The stories told by women about their wisdom, their tears and their journey create a foundation for others to build upon.

Donations for any amount are welcomed!

Donate to "Things We Don't Talk About"

Our girls are growing up inundated by messages about themselves by media, the celebrity world and by their peers. As adult women, we have sometimes forgotten our own voices, even as we have witnessed our mothers‘ and grandmothers’ voices being stifled.

"Things We Don't Talk About" documents the stories of women reclaiming their sacredness, their truth and their voice as changers in the world. We are in a new era of history - the healing of ourselves and our planet will come from the women. This movie chronicles the voices of The Red Tent movement, one that is sweeping the world and signals the clarion call to all who envision a world built around cooperation rather than competition. A world we want to leave for our children, their children and stretching far into the future.

“Things We Don’t Talk About” shows Red Tent's around the nation gifting women with an opportunity to remember, to listen, to know, and to discover what needs to be brought to our communities to help reawaken their voices. Bringing a Red Tent to a community is a cooperative effort. Women who participate in the Red Tent contribute in a variety of ways. Some design and assemble the Red Tent. Some make the food. Some are the shoulders to cry on. Others provide the financial backing that allows the experiences to continue. All give so that all will receive.
