开拓者: The Untold Stories of Six Women Engineers
纪录片
开拓者 是基于Dr。. 劳拉Ettinger’s game-changing work for the National Science Foundation that captures the essence of trailblazing American women in engineering. This short documentary (19:18 minutes) tells the stories of six of these trailblazers who share their experiences overcoming obstacles and paving the way for the next generation.
他们的故事很有感染力. They help us to understand how individual women in engineering navigated the challenges they encountered, and how institutions might work to address those challenges. As we look at ourselves and face choices about our futures, their stories make us feel less alone.
开拓者 is aimed at adults and older high school students of all interests and backgrounds.

Josephine Salvador, Executive Director of the New York State Master Teacher Program"These six engineers take the viewer on a journey of perseverance, as they share candidly the first stinging comments they received and how ultimately they didn't let those comments deter them from their dreams. Their passion for engineering never wavered. They knew that their success in the face of adversity could help blaze the trail for future engineers. This documentary would be great for high school students as they consider what paths they're going to take."

扎克·米勒导演"Our goal with this film was to tell these six incredible women's stories in the most authentic and honest way possible. That's why we chose a solid white background; we didn't want anything to distract from their powerful words. We made this film for everyone, not just engineers and not just women. We're shining a light on some of the biggest cultural problems that are as persistent today as they were in the 1970s. These inspiring stories stand as a testament to the power and resilience of women everywhere."
