TEA & JUSTICE http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c779.shtml
"Demonstrates better than any research study, the critical importance of
diversity and gender equity to successful police."
David A. Harris, Author, "Good Cops: The Case for Preventive Policing"
TEA & JUSTICE http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c779.shtml
chronicles the experiences of three women who joined the New York Police
Department during the 1980s-the first Asian women to become members of a
force that was largely white and predominantly male. In this
award-winning documentary, Officer Trish Ormsby and Detectives Agnes
Chan and Christine Leung share their fascinating stories about careers
and personal lives, as well as satisfactions and risks on the job, the
stereotypes they defied, and how they persevered.
Challenging women's roles - Women Make Movies provides films that
challenge the roles that women have customarily played and showcases
women pushing boundaries all over the world.
