OT Movie Night: Women In Blue Screening and Discussion

OT is excited to present an in-person screening of the film "Women In Blue" followed by a pre-recorded discussion with film director Deirdre Fishel and her impact partner Ganesha Martin, hosted by OT's Laura Shaunette. Join us at the Telluride Transfer Warehouse Wednesday, May 12 at 8PM (MT). Admission is free!

The film "Women In Blue" follows Minneapolis’ first female police chief Janeé Harteau, as she works to reform the Minneapolis Police Department by getting rid of bad cops, retraining the rest, diversifying the ranks and promoting women—who statistically use less force than their male counterparts—into every rank of leadership. The film focuses on four women in Harteau’s department, each trying to redefine what it means to protect and serve. After a high-profile, officer-involved shooting forces Chief Harteau to resign, the new, male chief selects only men as his top brass. The women left behind, must grapple with working to rebuild community trust, in a department where women have lost power.
