“We need other kinds of stories,” Donna Haraway implores as she faces the camera. “Storying otherwise,” in Haraway’s expression, is an apt characterization of the work of this paradigm-shifting thinker, whose contributions to feminist studies of science and technology resist and even rebel against hegemonic ways of thinking and living. But what form should such stories take? What might they sound or feel like? To watch Fabrizio Terranova’s Donna Haraway: Story Telling for Earthly Survival (2016) is to know that the filmmaker took Haraway’s imperative to heart. Both subtle and explicit filmic techniques mimic, comment on, and evoke the rhythms that sustain Haraway as a thinker, a storyteller, and a human being. In experimenting with different kinds of storytelling—bending the genre of documentary by fusing the intimate everyday with the playfully surreal—Terranova brings one of the most evocative social theorists to life and demonstrates the supple, transformative nature of storytelling itself.
(From  “The Society for Cultural Anthropology” SCA web site) .”Donna Haraway is brilliant, passionate, original and a leading intellectual force of our times. This portrait offers an intimate glimpse into the style and imagination of this charismatic thinker.”. Anna Tsing.

In 2010, Saudi Arabian writer and activist Hissa Hilal did something unimaginable she starred in the Arab World’s biggest televised live poetry competition. In a society where the art of poetry is alive and well, ‘Million’s Poet’ is a hugely popular X-Factor style talent show. Storming through the rounds, and becoming progressively more political in her critique of religious extremism and her patriarchal society, Hilal became the first woman to reach the show’s final speaking with wit and lyricism on live tv to an audience of 70 million (Rotten tomatoes).
