In 1986, filmmaker Maxi Cohen was one of seven women filmmakers commissioned by German television to interpret the Seven Deadly Sins. She was given the sin of "anger" and began by putting an advertisement in The Village Voice that read, "What makes you angry?" Along with fellow filmmaker Joel Gold, she recorded the conversations with the people who replied. This exploration lead to a heart-wrenching and emotional film that shows the complexity of anger and its origins. Thirty four years later, Anger continues to resonate, especially as health, economic and political turmoil place anger at the forefront.
