Iron Jawed Angels recounts a key chapter in US History: the struggle of suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote in 1920. The suffragists had no vote, no political clout, and no equal rights. However, what they lacked under the law, they made up for in brains, determination, and courage. Oscar-winner Hilary Swank leads an outstanding cast in the inspirational true story of women who dared to make a stand for women's rights. Their wills were made of iron and their courage inspired a nation and ended up shaping the future of America. USA, 2004, 124 min.

Come see this inspiring film and afterwards join in a discussion of this legacy, what is currently happening with our voting process, and how you can become involved. Democracy is not a spectator sport!
