PETRA KELLY ACT NOW
Portrait of activist Petra Kelly whose work in trying to change the world actually changed the world.
This is a solid look at the work of a woman who died too soon. Using archival footage and current interviews with people who knew and were influenced by her we get a great sense of how her work changed the world.

SHAKING IT UP: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF LIZ CARPENTER
Excellent look at Liz Carpenter a journalist who was active in politics and whose no-nonsense style won her many admirers, even among those she fought.
While this is more or less a typical bio doc, the film shines brightly because of the woman at the center. Sure, the presentation is familiar but at the same time there was only on Liz Carpenter.

SPACEWOMAN
Portrait of astronaut Eileen Collins who had a long and celebrated career flying to space and back in the space shuttle.
Wonderful portrait of a woman who broke down doors in the space program. She blazed a trail for other women to follow and did things that will make your jaw drop. What a great lady.
