RATIFIED
2024 ‧ Documentary
With filmmakers Sabaah Folayan and Deborah Riley Draper
​
RATIFIED is a feature documentary about the 100-year struggle for constitutional gender equality, an inspiring story of a multi-racial, multi-generational, bi-partisan effort to make Virginia the 38th and final state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.
​
Most Americans believe the US Constitution protects gender equality. It does not. The 100 year fight for an Equal Rights Amendment requires tending old wounds to build a truly inclusive movement. This film is about the brave women trying to do just that.
