Item Description
Seneca Falls DVD
Seneca Falls takesviews on a life-changing journey with nine high school girls and a lone 10-year old boy bound for the birthdplace of women's rights in America. Part teenage road trip, part shocking history lesson, the film is, above all, an awakening of young hearts and minds.
Directed by Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Louise Vance, this one-hour documentary breathes life and relevance into a revolutionary act barely
mentioned in history books: America's first women's rights convention, held in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. The film follows WOWER Power, a struggling multi-cultural teen theater troupe from San Francisco, as they travel to Seneca Falls to perform their original play at the 150th Anniversary Celebration of this groundbreaking, yet largely forgotten, milestone in American history.
The troupe joins tens of thousands gathered in Seneca Falls to unearth fascinating details of the world’s first call for women’s rights, drawing inspiration from pioneering scholars and prominent elected officials. The girls' odyssey culminates when they perform their original play in which an African American girl gains self-esteem and courage from her foremothers and goes on to become the first woman president of the United States.
Seneca Falls is a film about courageous action in the darkest days for American women. It's a modern tale of nine dynamic teenagers and their
dedicated director reclaiming this history. And it’s a quest to make “Seneca Falls” a household term, so that all Americans will understand what happened
there. For women and girls in particular, the film awakens the knowledge that citizens like them have shaped the country’s destiny – and can shape its future. 60 minutes
