Alice Paul – Der Weg ins Licht (TV Movie 2004)

Alice Paul – Der Weg ins Licht: Directed by Katja von Garnier. With Hilary Swank, Margo Martindale, Anjelica Huston, Frances O’Connor. Defiant young activists take the women’s suffrage movement by storm, putting their lives at risk to help American women win the right to vote.

“Even with the Hollywood spin, this movie depicts the true essence of the struggle for the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. What surprised me the most was how little I knew about the courageous devotion of these women and why our history books make little or no mention of their extraordinary struggle for us, for so many years. I loved this movie! Every cast member gave an outstanding performance, especially Hillary Swank (Alice Paul) and Frances Ou0026#39;Connor (Lucy Burns). Ms.Ou0026#39;Connor was enthralling! Every woman of voting age should see this movie about our unsung heroines. Then, older teenage daughters(u0026amp; sons) nieces(u0026amp; nephews),view it with supervision of some scenes. I wasnu0026#39;t initially drawn to this movie because of the title. I thought it was about WWII fighting airplanes. Iu0026#39;m so glad I tuned in for one of the best enlightening films of the decade. Bravo for HBO!”
