Celebrate Women’s History Month by joining ASMP Connecticut and ASMP New England for a virtual screening of Like A Woman, a documentary film telling the stories of women who have gone against the odds and pursued careers that had been off-limits to them only a short time ago. The screening will be followed by a Zoom Q&A with the filmmaker and director, Gail Mooney.

About the Filmmaker:
Gail Mooney is an award-winning filmmaker whose previous work includes Opening Our Eyes. As a female photographer, Mooney has spent a lifetime working in a male-dominated profession. While things have improved for women in the U.S. workforce change has been slow and we still have a way to go in terms of equal pay and opportunities. She has found the best way to create change is to show the change she wants to happen — in this case, Like A Woman. Her goal is to inspire young girls and empower women to pursue the career of their dreams. She wants to tell them anything is possible.
