THE GLORIA TAPES

By Lisa Steele; 1979-80; 12 minutes. "Modeled on the soap opera format, this 4-part series follows a young mother who's on welfare...."Gloria" depicts a crisis of language, as she reveals herself to lack the ability to speak on her own behalf. Thus she must rely on the words of others - those in positions of authority within her life ...a form of communication that is about her and not for her. I think this in only part of "Gloria", however, because in spite of the escalating catastropheis which befall her, Gloria reveals her ability to literally 'get hold of' the language which has been oppressing her."
