Documentary Short on Achieving Potty Parity in Congress
For close to two centuries, female Representatives and Senators were exiled by exclusionary architecture.
Pissed Off is a short film exploring the underpublicized struggles faced by female lawmakers in Congress who advocated for equal access to restroom facilities in their place of work, the United States Capitol. From its inception, Congress excluded women, both in participation and plumbing. The misogyny faced by women in government is a story that can be told through their fight to install a simple bathroom.
