98岁的陈玉平(Grace Lee Boggs)是一位生活在底特律的作家、倡权者和哲学家。这是一部关于她的思想、倡权行动和生活的纪录片《美国革命:陈玉平的演进》(American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs)。 陈玉平出生于1915年,父母是移民,经营中餐馆。陈玉平从小生活舒适,但感到社会需要变革。她毕业于伯纳德学院,后在布林莫尔学院攻读哲学,1940年获得博士学位。由于少数族裔在当时美国社会的境遇,毕业后,她在芝加哥大学的哲学图书馆谋得一份低薪工作。她在租住的地区无意中见到非裔市民抗议,从此关注和参与非裔美国人争取平等权利的民权运动。 后来,她到有大量汽车工人的底特律,和汽车制造工人和工人权益倡权人士James Boggs结婚。陈玉平和新婚丈夫度蜜月时,不得不在车里过夜,因为当时的种族隔离法令她的非裔新婚丈夫无法入住汽车旅馆。她成了非裔社区的一分子,参与当地的民权运动。 陈玉平的思想深受黑格尔的辩证法和马克思的社会发展理论的影响。她的思想不断地演变,如今,她倡导非暴力,在家门口的草坪上放着“不要战争”的牌子。她认为,不应该将希望寄托在领导人身上,变化应该从自身开始。年届高龄,她还组织“底特律暑假” 和“社区花园”项目,在一个衰落的城市里致力于社区的重建。
Actor Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness traveled to Ethiopia in their role as ambassadors for World Vision Australia in 2009. During that visit, they met Dukale, a coffee farmer. Growing up, poverty had deprived Dukale of an education, but he saw an opportunity to create a new future for his family when World Vision offered access to a new kind of economic empowerment. Jackman was so inspired by Dukale’s story, that he made – and kept – a promise to him that is revealed in the film.
