98 Years and Counting: More Women Leaders Needed Everywhere (2018) Short Documentary 3 min. English USA Co-Directed by Kirthi Nath and Zel Anders, Produced by Doris Bersing
98 Years and Counting: More Women Leaders Needed Everywhere is a call for and celebration of women's leadership, as well as a stark look at the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in the United States in 2018. We went into the field and asked women at the Oakland Women's march - what kind of women do you want to see in leadership? What are the values you want to see reflected? How can we be the ones we have been waiting for? The film is the first in a series about womens leadership.
