Some say, “to start with the end”…while some say, “you think it is the end and it’s just the beginning…enough philosophy, but let’s start with the end. This year’s closing film: “Clarissa’s Battle” of The 21st Oakland International Film Festival.

Her personal story, her leadership and her current situation is captured through the lens and eye of Tamara Perkins.
