About the event
WONDER WOMEN! THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICAN SUPERHEROINES is an independent documentary feature that looks at female superheroes, warrior princesses, and other icons of women's empowerment in pop culture. Exploring our nation’s long-term love affair with comic book superheroes, the film raises questions about the possibilities and contradictions of heroines within the genre. Reflecting our culture’s deep-seated ambivalence toward powerful women—even in this so-called post-feminist era —women may be portrayed as good, or brave, or even featured as “action babes,” but rarely are they seen as heroes at the center of their own journey. The film, directed by Kristy Guevara-Flanagan, garnered numerous awards, premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival, and was broadcast on the PBS series Independent Lens in 2013.
