Women of Vision
Self
Documentary that highlights 18 women and covers a period of time from the 50's to the 90's.

They are black, white, Puerto Rican, Yugoslavian, Asian American, biracial. They are straight, gay and bisexual. What they share is a need to express their own interpretations of what American culture is and could be and a belief that this work is made particularly powerful through the media.
