Why watch this film?
My Name Is Pauli Murray is a documentary that tells the story of Pauli Murray, a non-binary activist lawyer who formulated ideas that influenced the fight for gender equity and civil rights. In addition to practicing law, Murray wrote and taught Christian teachings. The film is signed by Julie Cohen and Betsy West, directors of the documentary 'The Judge', which tells the life story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an important figure in American history and heavily influenced by Pauli Murray. The first question the filmmakers faced when confronted with the project was: "Why didn't we know this person?". So they did everything as quickly as possible to tell Murray's story. For obvious reasons, Pauli was forgotten in history and the film is important to highlight the very important deeds of the activist to the world. In addition, his works are studied to this day and are important and extremely current topics to deal with, even so many years after his death in 1985.

RBG
Nominated for an Oscar in two categories (Documentary and Original Song), 'The Judge' is a portrait of an inspiring figure, who is a great example for those fighting for justice and an icon of US politics: Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Also known as RBG, she was the second woman to join the Supreme Court of that country - and, before that, with a long trajectory in the judiciary, including the fight for women's rights and gender equality. The documentary brings an intense representation of the judge, especially at a moment when there is a clash (for and against) the causes she defends. The production has the signatures of Participant Media (from 'Roma' and Green Book') and CNN Films, which certifies even more its quality.
Julia
Between the 60s and 70s (in the midst of the rise and surge of the feminist movement of the era), the cook and author of cookbooks, Julia Child, who at fifty years old became one of the most novel and famous figures on US television, managing to bring French cuisine to the American mainstream, and leading one of the first and most popular cooking shows on television, 'The French Chef'. With multiple testimonies and archive material previously unseen, 'Julia' presents an honest portrait of Childs, her life, deep impact on the country's culture, and her legacy.
