DAY 12: MEMORIAL DAY MOVIE MADNESS
|
|
Everybody loves a holiday weekend! And what better way to spend it than with a few stellar SIFF films?
For instance, how about Kristy Guevara-Flanagan's energetic and enlightening documentary that chronicles the impact of Wonder Woman and how her creation impacted multiple generations of American women. Titled, appropriately enough,
Wonder Women! The Untold Story of
American Superheroines,
it screens one more time during SIFF2012. With Ms. Guevara-Flanagan scheduled to attend, this is sure to be one of the hottest tickets of the day.
