Resisterhood is a film about the power of women, hope and resistance in modern American politics. After the 2016 elections, we follows six diverse Americans as they fight for social justice on the streets and in the halls of power.

When historians tell the story of the aftermath of the 2016 presidential elections, Resisterhood will be Exhibit A. This powerful documentary begins with a short, black and white montage of then-candidate Donald Trump showing the world who he is and reminding the viewer why millions of people throughout the world, protested on Day 1 of his presidency. It is on this day at the Women's March in Washington, DC, we meet the subjects of Resisterhood; six diverse American patriots who are fighting for social justice on the streets and in the halls of power. The film follows them for more than two years as they work to protect our rights and inspire others to join this peaceful and historic movement. Through their eyes, we experience the reality of Trump's America. And through their actions, we see the strength and courage of ordinary Americans during this extraordinary time.

Jean (The Organizer) is the great-granddaughter of a suffragist who participated in the original women's march in 1913. Jean's political awakening begins the moment Trump is elected. She fights back by transforming her eight-member book club into the 400+ member Women's Alliance for Democracy and Justice.

Margaret (The Marcher) is a seasoned activist who marched from Selma to Montgomery in 1965. Now in her 80's, Margaret's legs are weak, but her determination to stand for justice is stronger than ever. She attends march after march inspiring everyone around her including her 12-year-old grand-nephew, Dallas.

Luis and Soraida, (The Insiders) a U.S. Congressman and his wife, fight for the rights of all Dreamers, immigrants, and families separated at the border. Share their delight when their daughter, Jessica, decides to run for Chicago's City Council.

Joanna (The Motivational Speaker) is a professional soccer player and self-proclaimed "Rainbow Warrior". After a season-ending injury, Joanna uses this setback to transform herself into a role model standing up for gender equality and the rights of the LGBTQ community.

Mimi (The Candidate) becomes a victim of hate speech after the election because she wears the hijab. She turns her fear into power as she runs for public office, much to the delight of her 15 grandchildren.

The inspiring subjects in Resisterhood protest, march, teach, speak, organize, run for office, and get arrested in an effort to protect our democracy and encourage people to VOTE. Through their actions, we learn that only by standing up with and for each other will we be able to create a more perfect union.
