Award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Abod provides a window into the life of Angela Bowen, a woman who grew up in inner city Boston during the Jim Crow era and went on to become a classical ballerina, legendary dance teacher, black lesbian feminist activist organizer, writer and professor.

For six decades Bowen has influenced and inspired untold numbers, speaking out as strongly for the Arts, and Black and Women’s Rights as she has for LGBTQ Rights. Candid, compelling, and inspiring, Passionate Pursuits depicts Bowen's life across the decades, with archival footage, timeless musical selections, photographs and interviews.
