Donna Haraway: Story Telling for Earthly Survival (2016)
Directed by Fabrizio Terranova
Feminist thinker and historian of science Donna Haraway is perhaps best known as the author of two revolutionary works: the essay "A Cyborg Manifesto" and the book Primate Visions. Both set out to upend well-established "common sense" categories; breaking down the boundaries among humans, animals, and machines while challenging gender essentialism and questioning the underlying assumptions of humanity’s fascination with primates through a post-colonial lens.
Donna Haraway: Telling Stories for Earthly Survival (2016) features Haraway in a playful and engaging exploration of her life, influences, and ideas. Structured around a series of discussions held in the California home, the film invites you to her at these passionate storytelling sessions. Covering a remarkable range of subjects be carried away by Haraway’s nimble and playful mind.
