They had no vote, no political clout, no equal rights. But what they lacked under the law they made up for with brains, determination and courage. Oscar-winner Hilary Swank leads an outstanding cast in the inspirational true story of two women who dared to make a stand for women's rights, and ended up shaping the future of America. The HBO original movie IRON JAWED ANGELS recounts for a contemporary audience a key chapter in U.S. history: in this case, the struggle of suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment. Focusing on the two defiant women, Alice Paul (Swank) and Lucy Burns (Frances O'Connor), the film shows how these activists broke from the mainstream women's-rights movement and created a more radical wing, daring to push the boundaries of political protest to secure women's voting rights in 1920. Breathing life into the relationships between Paul, Burns and others, the movie makes the women feel like complete characters instead of one-dimensional figures from a distant past.

It's incredible that this film and Suffragette (2015) are only a few years apart. They are both films that deal with the same important theme, but each is from a different world. It's not just the fact that Iron Jawed Angels follows the events leading up to women's suffrage in the US and Suffragette does the same in England. Katja von Garnier was not satisfied with just a strong story, great real characters, and a decent cast. Unfortunately, however, she tried to make the story more for young viewers and therefore practically devalued all the good things she managed to do with modern music and MTV-like sequences. There is no need to try to please the young by force.
