The Cobscook Community Learning Center will continue its Speaker / Video Series on Saturday, March 3rd at 7:00 pm with the showing of “Iron Jawed Angles.” All are invited to join in a discussion after the showing of the film.

From 1912 to 1920, a group of fiery young suffragettes led by Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) and Lucy Burns (Frances O'Connor) band together to wheedle the United States into adapting a Constitutional amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote. Along the way, they incur the wrath of President Woodrow Wilson (Bob Gunton) and anger other suffragette leaders (Anjelica Huston and Lois Smith). Directed by Katja von Garnier.
