McLane 121

Katja von Garnier, 2004. 123 min. This film "recounts for a contemporary audience a key chapter in U.S. history: in this case, the struggle of suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment. Focusing on the two defiant women, Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) and Lucy Burns(Frances O'Connor), the film shows how these activists broke from the mainstream women's-rights movement and created a more radical wing, daring to push the boundaries of political protest to secure women's voting rights in 1920." (www.hbo.com).

Post screening discussion by Jenny Whyte (Women's Resource Center Coordinator).

Cineculture is a film series provided as a service to the Fresno State campus students, faculty, staff, and community, at no charge.

Cineculture is also offered as a 3 unit academic course through the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism
