"The Edge of Each Other's Battles: The Vision of Audre Lorde" is about Audre Lorde's broad social vision and the translation of that vision into a historic transnational conference, which used her work, while celebrating her life.
"Filmmaker Jennifer Abod has captured a true icon of our community and through the interviews in the film, we get to bear witness to the charming, witty, insightful, passionate and deeply political Audre Lorde."
- University of Arizona Libraries
"After viewing Jennifer Abod's film, I gained a new respect for Lorde and her work... I gained new hope for a feminist revolution..."
- April Dobbins in Sojourner
"...a labor of love and a symbol of commitment to the production of feminist art."
- Toronto Lesbian and Gay Film Festival
"I've seen it twice with audiences of women and it blows me and everybody else away each time, for its moving, insightful, varied, and potentially world-changing content."
- Frieda Werden, "WINGS": Women's International News Gathering Service
"...This video is a treasure, in the sense of 'national treasure,' except I can't think of anything less Audre, so let's say 'global treasure.' It's invaluable."
- Cynthia Rich, author
"Very wonderful - touching, poignant, powerful, immediate, from the heart
and to the mind and spirit."
- John D'Emilio, Ph.D., scholar of gay history
"This splendid video captures Audre Lorde's spirit: her energy, her vision, her work. Jennifer Abod's imaginative weave of Audre's poetry, commitment to justice and community, and passion for life should be presented in every history, literature, GLBT, and Women's Studies classroom."
- Blanche Wiesen Cook (historian) & Clare Coss (playwright)
"All the film ballots came back with ratings of 10 and 10+ (10 is the highest on the scale!). This rating was regardless of gender and age! It felt good to present such an excellent film!"
- Cinnafest, Brother2Brother, Cleveland, Ohio
"The footage of Lorde in Abod's film is superb...The depth of discussion is intensely satisfying."
- Feminist Collections, A Quarterly of Women's Studies Resources
"This film is recommended for all women's studies and gay-lesbian studies collections in academic libraries."
- Video Librarian Sept/Oct 2003
- Library Journal August 2003
"(This)educational and emotionally moving narrative documentary captures the zeitgeist of a visionary, whose ideas are universally generative for all people at all times.
- Joe Semkes, Laney Towers, Oakland
