Adrienne Rich: distinguished American feminist poet, and author of numerous books of prose, poetry, essays and speeches. Dionne Brand: Trinidadian-Canadian feminist poet, writer and filmmaker. For this film, incisive and inquisitive, the two women met intimately around a kitchen table, in corridors, or casually outdoors in the United States, Tobago and Canada, to discuss the world as they each see it - including political issues, feminism, racism or lesbianism.
