We showed the film to a gathering of Minnesota Women Lawyers and students from William Mitchell College of Law. The response was wonderful, and the panel of women judges and lawyers moderated by Lori Sturdevant shared many incites and great stories about women’s struggle for equality in the judicial system. Below are some photos:

The “sneak preview” of our film, “Girl from Birch Creek,” a feature-length documentary about the life and legacy of Rosalie Wahl, will take place at the Oakdale Marcus theaters on Wednesday evening, November 14, 2012.

Rosalie was the first woman appointed to the Minnesota Supreme Court, but her life has meant so much more than that to countless Minnesotans. The film chronicles, not only her very interesting life, but also the women’s movement in Minnesota and its role in her appointment.

Thanks to a significant “Legacy Grant” we were able to finish the film to the highest production values and we had the good fortune of convincing NPR’s Nina Totenberg to do the narration for the film.

Please let me know as soon as possible whether you are interested in attending. The date is November 14th. There will be a reception (appetizers and cash wine bar) at the theater before the screening. The reception will begin at 6:00 pm. The presentation of the film will take place commencing at 7:00 pm with a brief introduction by the filmmakers and Brent Peterson, Executive Director of the Washington County Historical Society. After the screening of the film there will be a question and answer period for people wanting to learn more about the film and its production.

“Girl from Birch Creek” will be shown at the Marcus Theaters in Oakdale, Minnesota (5677 Hadley Avenue North Oakdale, MN 55128).

Admission to the Sneak Preview is free. However, seating is limited, so please RSVP to girlfrombirchcreek@gmail.com if you plan to attend.

Thanks and hope to see you there.

Nina Totenberg Narrates “Girl from Birch Creek”!

Several weeks ago we recorded the narration for ‘”Girl from Birch Creek.” We were thrilled that Nina Totenberg of National Public Radio agreed to read the narration; and she did a wonderful job, breathing even more energy into the documentary. Thank you, Nina Totenberg, for doing such a great job!
