FILM DESCRIPTION

Taking on the entrenched political establishment in Denver, Colorado, five female activists decide to run for office as part of a grassroots movement to take back their city.

Tired of watching their communities be ignored and displaced, five women of color run for municipal office in Denver – one of the fastest gentrifying cities in the country. With only a fraction of the funds of their incumbent opponents, the women find power through their community and each other to run their grassroots campaigns.

“Heartbreaking and Hopeful.” Will Berson, Oscar Nominated Screenwriter, “Judas and the Black Messiah”

“This should be mandatory viewing for everyone in Denver before election night; perhaps it should be mandatory viewing for everyone before any election anywhere. Henderson has intimate access to all of the women, and the personal interviews, the “backstage pass,” the stage speeches, and the colorful personalities of everyone add up to an engaging, interesting, and sometimes depressing story. We see why they are running and how difficult that run is, including the financial, personal, and professional toll it takes. All along, Henderson never lets us forget the stakes.” – Front Porch News, Denver, CO, November 1, 2021.
