ABOUT THE FILM

A Feminist Lens: The Art & Activism of Photographer Joan Roth is an intimate portrait of internationally acclaimed photographer Joan Roth. The film focuses on five decades of Roth’s pioneering photography, in which she used her camera to advocate for homeless women in New York City, documented leaders in the U.S. Women’s Movement from the 1970s through today, and illuminated the diverse lives of Jewish women around the world.

JOAN'S PHILOSOPHY

Joan Roth has dedicated her life to raising awareness of women’s plight and activism, which is the central focus of this film.  Roth, herself a feminist icon, chose to prioritize making women visible versus fame and fortune.  The film lifts up the experience of the women’s movement, advocates, and diverse Jewish women worldwide and is narrated by top feminist icons. This film is written and produced by Joan’s daughter to ensure her mother’s legacy in hopes it will be an inspiration to other women who are on the frontlines of today’s challenges for women’s equality and reproductive rights.
