Sensible Cinema celebrates Women’s History Month with a film about the world of musicians. It’s a re-telling of the history of women in the music world from the 1930s thru present day with a more modern-day sense of Women’s Rights. There’s lots of older film footage but was released only in 2014 and definitely has lots of swing.
Hope to see you there!!!
