Slovenian Movie Night - "100% Slovenian: The Stories of Slovenian Women in America"

What does it mean to be Slovenian? Is it grandma's strudel recipe, dancing the polka, teaching children Slovenian songs, or something deeper? Witty observations and moving stories create a memorable movie about real-life women and how they stay "100% Slovenian" when Slovenia is only a distant memory. Women in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York, Washington DC, and Chicago tell about the joys and challenges of expressing their identity.

Historian Joe Valencic introduces the documentary he co-wrote with Dr. Mirjam Milharcic Hladnik for TV Slovenia. "100% Slovenian" was directed by Hanna A. W. Slak, one of Slovenia's leading film directors. 50 minutes. In English and Slovenian with subtitles.
