Work-in-Progress Screening: "Sister Senators," directed by Emily Harrold

Join ARTS Southeast on Wednesday, February 25th 6PM for a Work-in-Progess Screening with our February Artist-in-Residence, Emily Harrold, of her upcoming film “Sister Senators”

“In Ruby Red South Carolina, the only five women in an overwhelmingly male and conservative State Senate defy party lines and fight for women’s rights. Despite their party allegiances, Sister Senators Katrina Shealy (R), Margie Bright Matthews (D), Mia McLeod (I), Sandy Senn (R), and Penry Gustafson (R) inspired the nation in 2023 in their unified fight to preserve women’s rights in the severely male-dominated South Carolina legislature. Their bipartisan unity becomes a rallying point for women across the Southeast – and a political weapon that is turned against them by their enemies.”

Following the documentary, there will be time for feedback and questions with director Emily Harrold.

“Sister Senators” is set to release in late 2026 or early 2027 with a far-reaching community screening tour to follow, with a focus on using the documentary to inspire gender equity and parity in government.
