Cheryl Jacobs Crim, was named Best Emerging Filmmaker at the 10th Annual Women’s Voices Now Film Festival for RESISTERHOOD, a documentary about the power of women, hope, and resistance durning the first two years of the Trump administration. The Women’s Voices Now honor comes with a $1,500 prize. This is the 15th award for RESISTERHOOD which has a 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This important and timely documentary follows six Americans as they fight for our civil rights on the streets and in the halls of power. As one of the judges commented “We need to tell women’s history from the lens of women and RESISTERHOOD definitely did that. . . . But it’s not just a story of the past in the hope and the resistance but it really offers a blueprint for how we move forward, how we need to move forward, frankly in these times.” The film is a powerful tool for the defense of our democracy but it needs your help to spread the word. Please watch, review, and share Resisterhood streaming on Amazon Prime.
The filmmakers had a great screening at the 8th annual Network NoVa Women’s Summit at the Capital One Hall in Tysons. Followed by a Q&A with me, Margaret Morrison from the film, and film critic, Nell Minow. Everyone – including CJ – was surprised at how unfortunately relevant the film still is. The film is also available (free with ads) on YouTube and Tubi.
