Join us at the Siskel Film Center for a screening of the new award-winning film LILLY, followed by a Q&A with the film’s director, Rachel Feldman, moderated by LWV Chicago President Jane Ruby.

Based on the true story of Lilly Ledbetter, LILLY stars Academy Award nominee Patricia Clarkson as the Alabama tire factory supervisor who, after working 20 years in an environment plagued by harassment for the sake of the best paycheck in the county, discovers she’s been paid half of what the men with the same job have been earning. Outraged, Lilly takes her fight for equal pay all to the Supreme Court, Congress, and eventually The White House. A testament to resilience, with Clarkson’s powerful performance at its core, LILLY illuminates the impact a single person can have on a nation.
