We're here at Sundance 2021 (virtually) joined by our honorary Bitch and Sundance Partner-In-Crime John Wildman of FilmsGoneWild.com.

In this Episode, we are with the crew from My Name is Pauli Murray and Playing with Sharks, two documentaries that cover powerhouse women!

In Betsy West and Julie Cohen's documentary, Pauli Murray gets her long overdue moment to shine. As a non-binary black activist, lawyer, and poet born in 1910, her life helped pave the way for the likes of Rosa Parks and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Playing with Sharks, director Sally Aitken and producer Bettina Dalton introduce us to Valerie Taylor- marine conservationist, underwater photographer, filmmaker, and Australian icon who was among the first woman deep sea divers, and (along with her husband Ron) was the first to film the great white shark without the protection of a cage.

We're talking about badass women on the screen, with badass women who were behind the camera. Enjoy!
