URGENT DOCUMENTARY ‘NETIZENS’ About Women and Online Harassment Sept 23

Posted on by

“As fierce as its protagonists, doggedly plowing through deeply painful subject matter and bristling with rightful fury.” –Teen Vogue

“A forceful rebuke to legions of victim-shamers who use ‘it’s her fault’ as a mantra.” –Rolling Stone

“Lowen, who produced the disturbing 2011 doc BULLY, scores another infuriating triumph with her directorial debut, NETIZENS.” –The Village Voice

The Film: After their lives are overturned by vicious online harassment, NETIZENS follows three women as they confront the Internet’s wild west. This timely 96-minute documentary features prominent Brooklyn attorney Carrie Goldberg and author of Nobody’s Victim; Anita Sarkeesian, founder of Feminist Frequency and target of the ‘Gamergate’ attacks; and Tina Reine, a businesswoman whose career is destroyed by reputation-harming websites. With Soraya Chemaly, Danielle Citron, Mary Anne Franks and Jamia Wilson. 

NETIZENS is directed by Cynthia Lowen, the producer/writer of the documentary BULLY, which was released by The Weinstein Company and catalyzed a national movement to stop bullying. With this followup film, Lowen tackles the scourge of internet harassment, including “revenge porn,” cyber-stalking, threats of violence, privacy invasions, impersonation and hacking. While law enforcement and tech companies lag far behind the crimes, NETIZENS bears witness as the film’s subjects seek justice on their own terms. 

These screenings are supported by a robust suite of online tools to equip audiences to protect themselves and prevent harassment.

Location: September 23, 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm, Only at ShowPlace ICON Theatres at Roosevelt Collection, 1011 S Delano Ct, Chicago, IL 60605, (312) 564-2105

Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille brings you a Wine Tour of the Veneto Region of Northern Italy with its Fall Tasting of Three Red Blends

Posted on by

This fall, Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille (5 Oakbrook Center, Oak Brook, IL 60523; 630-571-1808) takes you to the Veneto region in Northern Italy for a tasting of three red blends, each featuring the Corvina grape varietal but in very distinct styles. The flight of three 2-ounce pours for $22 is available now through October 31, 2019.

Featured wines include:

  • 2017 Masi ‘Bonacosta’ Valpolicella Classico DOC, $10 Glass | $40 Bottle

Light intensity, fresh cherry and soft silky tannins. One of the classics of the great Veronese tradition, made by Masi in a contemporary style.

  • 2015 Masi Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese IGT $14 Glass | $56 Bottle

Rich, intense cherries and berry fruit, good length and soft tannins.

Approachable and versatile, combining simplicity with style and strength.

  • 2013 Masi Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG $38 Glass | $152 Bottle

Very dark, ruby red, baked plums and cherries with hints of coffee and cocoa. Proud, majestic, complex and exuberant: A benchmark for the Amarone category.

“Valpolicella Classico, praised by Hemingway as ‘a light, dry red wine, as friendly as the house of a favorite brother,’ is made in the Valpolicella Classico region in an elegant style full of simplicity and freshness, from a blend using the traditional Veronese grapes: Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara,” said Susi Zivanovic, Perry’s Corporate Sommelier and Beverage Director.

“The Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese is the original Supervenetian created by Masi in 1964 and internationally recognized as a wine of ‘stupendous body and complexity,’ the prototype for a new category of wines from the Veneto inspired by the Amarone production method,” she said.

“The Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella is the product of Masi’s unrivalled expertise in the appassimento technique,” said Zivanovic. “The traditional grapes for the Valpolicella Classica area – Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara – are laid out on bamboo racks to concentrate their aromas during the winter months.”
