Completed in June 2024, the 55-minute EXTENDED PREVIEW has already resonated with festival audiences, who are eager to learn more. We believe McCulloch's story is particularly relevant and powerful in today's challenging times and amid threats to our democracy.

We are currently editing the EXTENDED PREVIEW and expanding it into a 90-minute feature film. This comprehensive portrait will serve as both a compelling documentary for streaming audiences and a definitive resource on women’s leadership and democratic reform for educational markets.

Your tax-deductible donation will support expansion on McCulloch's groundbreaking legislative collaborations with African American lawyers and highlight her pioneering role in global women’s legal reforms..
