TEA & JUSTICE <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c779.shtml> "Demonstrates better than any research study, the critical importance of diversity and gender equity to successful police." David A. Harris, Author, "Good Cops: The Case for Preventive Policing" TEA & JUSTICE <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c779.shtml> chronicles the experiences of three women who joined the New York Police Department during the 1980s-the first Asian women to become members of a force that was largely white and predominantly male. In this award-winning documentary, Officer Trish Ormsby and Detectives Agnes Chan and Christine Leung share their fascinating stories about careers and personal lives, as well as satisfactions and risks on the job, the stereotypes they defied, and how they persevered. Challenging women's roles - Women Make Movies provides films that challenge the roles that women have customarily played and showcases women pushing boundaries all over the world.

PATSY MINK <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c758.shtml> was an Asian American woman who fought racism and sexism while redefining US politics, eventually becoming the first woman of color in the United States Congress and the driving force behind Title IX. Featuring more than 50 camerawomen from around the world, and shot over a period of six years, SHOOTING WOMEN <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c748.shtml> celebrates the amazing talent and unflinching spirit of image-making women from the sets of Hollywood and Bollywood to the war zones of Afghanistan. HAMMERING IT OUT <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c519.shtml> is the story of a community-initiated lawsuit that resulted in hundreds of women getting trained to work on a billion-dollar freeway project, giving a firsthand look at feminist issues of equality, identity, and changing gender roles.
