The Women Who Run

About This Movie

The Women Who Run offers an intimate glimpse into a pivotal moment in American politics. With a unique focus on 115 women of color running for House seats, the documentary captures the diversity and determination of these candidates. Deborah Roberts leads a roundtable featuring eight of them, creating an engaging dialogue that feels both personal and politically charged. The pacing is reflective, allowing viewers to soak in each woman's story, motivations, and experiences. There's a raw authenticity here, a blend of hope and realism that resonates throughout. It’s distinctive in its portrayal of political ambition not just as a quest for power, but as a means for change, showing the complexities of identity, race, and gender in a system that’s often resistant to both.
