Philadelphia Eleven (2023)

 

This is a good look at the ordination of the first 11 female priests in the Episcopal church.  It follow the group from before their ordination until today.

While it’s a good watch, I found that while there is much to like in the film I found the presentation uneven. We don’t get a real sense of the many of the women. The film also marches through events early on leaving out deals and then shifts focus slightly in the last third. 

It is a great primer on what happened  but I was left wanting to know more.
