Daughter Rite
1979, 53 minutes, Color, 16mm/DVD
Order No. W99331
"Daughter Rite is a classic, the missing link between the 'direct Cinema' documentaries and the later hybrids that acknowledged truth couldn't always be found in front of a camera lens. Scandalous in its day for bending the rules of representation to enlighten its audience about filmmaking, DAUGHTER RITE has a lot to teach folks hooked on reality TV, too. Citron's documentary inquiries into feminism, women in the trades, and feminist approaches to media representation are time capsules that merit re-opening."
-B. Ruby Rich, author of " Chick Flicks: Theories and Memories of the Feminist Film Movement"
Includes special bonus feature, WHAT YOU TAKE FOR GRANTED, also by Michelle Citron.

Both titles are available for 16-mm film rentals. To inquire, please email orders@wmm.com, or call 212.925.0606x360.

"The beauty of Citron's subject and of her treatment is the more personal it becomes, the more political it be-comes. Every woman who has a mother ought to see this film."
