The IAmWoman trailer is here!
Unjoo Moon, the director behind the 2012 Tony Bennett documentary, helms this story about the ambitious female singer's personal and professional life. In the preview, Helen's battles with a sexist music industry are mirrored in the front line fight for women's liberation, a parallel that helps inspire her role in the revolution's soundtrack.
Upon arriving, she finds a friend and confidant in well-known rock journalist Lillian Roxon . But she's also met with music executives who only seem interested in investing in groups of men. Struggling to break-in, Helen challenges the sexist and patriarchal industry head-on, arguing that women might care about the substance of their music, not just the pretty face singing it.
"Did it ever occur to you men to ask women what they want to listen to?" Helen charges as she stands under bright stage lights. Despite male gatekeepers who label her music"angry" and"man-hating," Helen, with the backing of her husband and manager Jeff Wald , is able to secure a recording contract and a string of hits, including 1971's"I Am Woman." But as Helen's star rises, the pressure of fame bears down on her and her family, forcing Helen to continue smashing through society and industry glass ceilings to cement herself in music history as an international superstar.
Produced by Moon and Rosemary Blight, I Am Woman was written by Emma Jensen and is distributed by Quiver Distribution. The movie will release in theaters and on demand on Sept. 11.

I Am a Doctor Too, and I Say Birds, Lizards, and Dinosaurs Are the Same CreatureAs anyone who has ever stood within earshot of me for longer than three minutes knows, I am a doctor. Specifically speaking, my PhD gives me dominion over all literature, but more specifically, I am a doctor of books written within a certain time frame that contain elements of the gothic. However, like Drs Drew, Phil, and Ben Carson, I like to think that I am also a doctor of any subject on which I begin speaking. And thus, it is completely within my purview as a doctor of philosophy to assert that the differences between birds, dinosaurs, and lizards are so negligible that these animals are, essentially, the same terrifying creature.
