The Inquisitor: Meaningful Movies Bellevue is kicking off our 2026-27 season with a documentary focusing on Texas Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.  Jordan made history when she became the first Black woman from the South elected to Congress. She was a well-known figure during the Watergate hearings against the Nixon administration. She used her sharp mind and powerful speaking style to hold leaders accountable to the law.

The Inquisitor connects her public success with her private challenges, such as her struggle with multiple sclerosis and her life as a closeted lesbian, and examines how democracy is changing. By showing Jordan’s focus on honesty and fairness, the film encourages viewers to question those in power and to think about how to build a more active and fair future for everyone.
