Fw: Inez Mulholland Documentary Film
Pass this along to commissioners.

Judy Woodward suggested the following: "How about scheduling a showing for the end of August? The anniversary of the ratification of the
Nineteenth Amendment giving women the vote is August 18. That would make a nice "hook" for
publicity purposes." Judy Woodward

Also, I wanted to let you know Ishtar Films, the company producing the film, is currently doing a Kickstart
Campaign so that the film can be offered and distributed freely and widely to communities, organizations,
schools, libraries, etc. Hopefully they will have a successful fundraising campaign and it will be available at no
cost. The DVD is expected to be released next month. Lisa

death. Milholland was a suffragist, political activist and attorney who famously led the 1913 Suffrage
March as the “American Joan of Arc”, wearing a white cape and holding a banner that said “Forward
Out of Darkness, Leave Behind the Night, Forward Out of Error, Forward Into Light”. Milholland died
in 1916, after collapsing while giving a speech on women’s suffrage. Her reported last words were:
“Mr. President, how long must women wait for liberty?” To celebrate the life of this remarkable
woman, Ishtar Films is releasing a documentary about her, "Forward Into Light"
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UsYHHCaO6k> next month. Would the League of Women Voters, the Roseville Human Rights Commission and/or the Ramsey
County Library like to team up with the Harriet G. Walker DAR Chapter and/or Shoreview HRC to do
a public screening of this film later this year? Please let me know your thoughts on this proposal.
Most warmly,
