"Love Letters" Now Streaming on GuideDoc!
This documentary tells the remarkable love story of Bellingham-born professor and feminist scholar Catharine R. Stimpson and Australian musicologist Elizabeth Wood. The film chronicles Wood's landmark legal victory in the 1970s to gain custody of her children. Now in their eighties, these women reflect on an era when living and loving authentically was itself a radical act.
Wood's victory established the precedent that lesbian mothers could not be deemed unfit parents based on their sexual orientation, securing their life together as a family for the next five decades. Today, both women share their story to inspire younger generations in their ongoing struggles against systemic inequality.

"Love Letters is a profound and heartfelt film beautifully unfolded by director Greta Schiller. The story of the two women who courageously challenged the child custody system at a time when it was radical for a lesbian couple to do so is touching, personal and genuinely moving." —Cheryl Crooks, CASCADIA International Women's Film Festival

With Election Day just two weeks away, we're reminded of Janet Reno's groundbreaking achievements as the first female U.S. Attorney General. Regardless of political stance, Reno's accomplishments undeniably marked a significant step forward for women in high-ranking government positions.
"Recall Florida" is a movie about Janet Reno. It follows former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno as she cruises the back roads and byways of Florida in her famous red pickup truck. This road film documents her bid to become the state's first female governor during the 2000 election campaign. It offers viewers an intimate look into a grassroots political campaign, and raises serious questions about the electoral process itself.
