Much Better Than I Expected...

I remember all the hoopla surrounding her back in 1991 when I was about a senior in high school. They concerned all the controversy on the senate hearings surrounding Anita Hill's accusations of sexual harassment toward Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. It was fodder for late night television, such as making for some great skits on TV's "Saturday Night Live". All these senators sitting around asking some very intimate/personal questions on something that obviously made them a bit uncomfortable..?? LOL

Well, anyway, this documentary goes into the FULL story of Anita, her family and professional background, as well as a full look at the behind the scenes of the whole situation in '91. Family, friends, colleagues, etc.. are interviewed, and we get to see a much different woman from the one who was tabloid-ized back in the day- one who really made a big step forward for all women in the work place. I really recommend all should check this movie out. It was a real eye-opener for me, and suspect it might just be for members of both sexes-??

And just a side-note: thanks to Clarence Thomas's recommendation- I actually saw a copy of "Long Dong Silver" (from the video store I was working at at the time) - and I give it TWO THINGS DOWN. LOL
