All American Girls

Christy Wegener (Dir), 94 minutes, USA, Western New York Premiere

Director Christy Wegener, Producer Andrea Berman, and Documentary Participant (and Author of The Addy Series) Connie Porter in attendance.

All American Girls pulls back the curtain, revealing the inner world of American Girl; the wildly popular brand that shaped girlhood for generations from the '80s onward. Today, the brand is a cultural touchstone, triggering debates about social and political issues.

American Girl was founded by Midwestern schoolteacher Pleasant Rowland, who is sharing her story for the first time after evading the spotlight for decades.
