ABOUT THE FILM

The Story

RESISTERHOOD is an award winning, feature-length documentary that follows 6 diverse Americans as they fight for social justice on the streets and in the halls of power. Meet our subjects as they, along with tens of thousands of other protesters, descend on Washington DC for the largest single day of protest in American History, the 2017 Women’s March. Follow along as a Muslim immigrant, an octogenarian civil rights marcher, the great-granddaughter of a Suffragist, a Puerto Rican power couple, and a self-proclaimed Rainbow Warrior work to protect our rights and inspire others to join this peaceful and historic movement. RESISTERHOOD is a testament to the strength of ordinary Americans during this extraordinary time.

JOANNA LOHMAN

Joanna, nicknamed the "Rainbow Warrior", is a soccer player with the Washington Spirit who uses the platform of professional sports to champion the rights of the LGBTQ community. We join her as she marches with Athlete Ally, a group of professional and Olympic athletes. We chant with her as she officially starts the second Women's March from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. And we bask in Joanna's unbridled optimism and unapologetic joy as she inspires everyone she meets.

MIMI HASSANEIN

Mimi is a popular political activist, Egyptian immigrant, and grandmother of 15. She was asked to run for county office in the 2018 Midterm elections. We follow her journey through campaigning and elections and watch as she tries to ride the wave of women being elected to office with the hope changing the face of politics in this country.

DR. JEAN GEARON

Although she is the great-granddaughter of one of the original American Suffragists, Jean's transformation into a political activist didn’t begin until the day after the 2016 election. Calling on her friends, Jean turned her small book club into the 400 member Women’s Alliance for Democracy and Justice. We watch this determined group of budding activists get involved in local and state politics as well as the fight to ratify the ERA - the same battle Jean's great-grandmother fought more than a hundred years ago.

LUIS AND SORAIDA GUTIERREZ

This couple is no stranger to protests in their fight for immigrant rights. A longtime Congressman from Chicago, Luis led the charge to boycott the 2017 Inauguration, but it was his wife, Soraida, who inspired their participation in the first Women’s March. We follow Luis & Soraida as they fight for the rights of Dreamers and bring attention to the plight of families separated at the border.

MARGARET MORRISON

Margaret first marched from Selma to Montgomery alongside John Lewis and Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965.  Now, at 82 years young, Margaret has no plans of slowing down. We follow her as she makes her voice heard at a variety of protests, beginning with the Women’s March where she proudly wears her “Black Lives Matter” button and a pink pussy hat. Through Margaret’s eyes, we see decades of political activism and a determination to educate future generations about the need to stand against injustice.
