July 4th: Celebrate & Reflect with Newsworthy Releases | Women Make Movies

[Women Make Movies Educate]

Hi All,

Meredith here from Women Make Movies, the leading nonprofit distributor of films by and about women. I thought the members of this listserv would be interested in WMM’s 4th of July special promotion. With each new release, Women Make Movies pays tribute to the true patriots -- the activists, teachers, mothers, sisters, doctors, lawyers, politicians, soldiers, laborers and everyday women who lead the fight against injustice. In light of June's historic and polarizing Supreme Court rulings, sweeping Gay Pride parades and the heated congressional debates on immigration and healthcare law, now is a critical time for inciting dialog around the definitions of freedom and democracy and celebrating those that have devoted their lives to creating positive change.
 
This Independence Day, explore these hot button issues and honor the courageous individuals who continue to make headlines with WMM Special Collections -- topical, carefully curated lists featuring these standout New Releases:
