Seeing is Believing

Seeing Is Believing: Women Direct is a documentary film that emphasizes the opportunity for women to use their voice through media to change the social and political landscape and achieve full equality. Focusing on inspiring and uplifting young female storytellers through the mentorship and leadership of four diverse directors, Seeing Is Believing: Women Direct opens the conversation up to ask "What is the broader role of storytelling in our society and how can women use filmed media as a unique opportunity to catalyze progress?" The film is additionally bolstered by important insights from male and female-identifying filmmakers to show how collaboration, rather than oppression, can incentivize all genders to connect to our shared human experience. Featuring Lesli Linka Glatter (EP/Director: Homeland), Sarah Gavron (Director:Suffragette, Brick Lane), Li Lu (Director: There is a New World Somewhere, A Town Called Victoria) and Naima Ramos-Chapman (Director: HBO's Random Acts of Flyness); with additional commentary from Kimberly Peirce (Director: Boys Don't Cry), Bethany Rooney (EP/Director: CBS's Bull, Writer: The Director Tells the Story), Deborah Riley Draper (Director: Olympic Pride, American Prejudice), Lizzie Borden (Director: Born in Flames), John Wells (Producer/Director: ER, Third Watch), Deborah Del Prete (Producer: Ender's Game, The Spirit), two-time Oscar Winner Sarah Kernochan (Director: Thoth, Marjoe, Strike!) and more.
