Since becoming President of Liberia, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has appointed women to key positions throughout the government. These women call themselves "Iron Ladies of Liberia." On today’s Underreported, we’ll find out more about these powerful women, and what they’re doing to help Liberia recover from its brutal civil war. Jonathan Stack is producer of the documentary film "Iron Ladies of Liberia"; he also set up a film collective in Liberia.
"Iron Ladies of Liberia" is showing at BAM on Sun. Feb 24 at 2pm and Thurs. Feb 28 at 4:30pm as part of the African Diaspora Film Festival. It will also air on PBS on March 18 at 10:00 pm as part of the Independent Lens series.
