Will you help share this story?
On Saturday, January 21, hundreds of thousands of women marched on Washington, "coming together in solidarity to express to the new administration & congress that women’s rights are human rights and their power cannot be ignored.” (from Women's March mission statement)
That same day, hundreds of sister marches took place in cities and small towns across America. Over 2.9 million people demonstrated - the largest one-day protest in U.S. history.
Our team of 8 filmmakers followed women and their supporters as they marched.
We captured stories in San Francisco, Oakland, Washington D.C. and Boston. The film will explore several women's motivation to march. Some were marching for the first time. For others, this has been a decades-long fight for human rights, dignity and justice. But the common theme is the spirit of democracy. We'll see women and their supporters across this country come together and stand up for a cause they believe in.
With this film, we hope to start conversations about democracy and human rights, empower audiences with tools and strategies and inspire viewers to stand up for their rights when they are threatened.
We'll screen the documentary at film festivals, community venues & online
We will premiere the film at a San Francisco film festival in April, host community screenings, and air the film on PBS affiliates. We'll also seek educational distribution and make the film available for on-demand viewing on Amazon Video and Vimeo OnDemand.
Why this story?
TrimTab Media is a team of creative filmmakers who help progressive brands and nonprofits tell their stories with video and other online media. We also produce independent documentaries about social and environmental issues that inspire audience to take action.
During the election, we knew we wanted to work on a film related to politics, social justice, racial justice and equality. After the election, we knew we needed to get started right away. We contacted the San Francisco Bay Area Women's March organizers, and began developing a concept to tell the story of the Women's March. Our team is honored and excited to help share this story!
