Anita Hill Doc at Bay Street

The Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival will present a screening of “Anita: Speaking Truth to Power” on Saturday at 4 p.m. at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor.

The subject of the 77-minute documentary, directed by Freida Lee Mock, is Anita Hill, an attorney and law professor who in 1991 was thrust onto the world stage when she testified before the Senate during its confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas.

Ms. Hill, who had been an assistant and counsel to Mr. Thomas at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, recounted, with graphic clarity, repeated acts of sexual harassment she claimed to have endured while working for him. Though she was vilified by many and Mr. Thomas was confirmed, her testimony opened a window on sexual misconduct in the workplace.

The film also offers a glimpse into her private life with friends and family. She speaks openly and intimately for the first time about the experiences that led her to testify before the Senate and the obstacles she faced in telling the truth. She also discusses her life and work in the 23 years since.

 The screening will be followed by a panel discussion including Betty Schlein, past president of Long Island NOW; Gini Booth, executive director of Literacy Suffolk; Wini Freund, former board president of Womens Fund of Long Island, and Deborah Kooperstein, an attorney and Southampton Town justice.

Tickets are $15 at the door.
