About

Narrated by Lee Grant

Cinematography, Judy Irola ; edited by Suzanne Pettit

Originally produced as a motion picture in 1979

Intended audience: High school students through adults

Tells the story of eight unassuming, apolitical women in America's heartland - Willmar, Minnesota - who were driven by sex discrimination at work to take the most unexpected step of their lives and found themselves in the forefront of the struggle for women's rights. Risking jobs, friends, family and the opposition of church and community, they began the longest bank strike in American history in a dramatic attempt to assert their own equality and self-worth

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
