Why I March

Produced on a pro bono basis by CinemaStreet Pictures, a woman-owned New York City production company, and written, produced and directed by company owner Dana Offenbach, the video uses a dynamic, split-screen visual style to tell a densely-layered story of commitment, passion and concern for the rights of women and those being marginalized or disenfranchised in American society today. Shot in a documentary style, the PSA includes a range of testimonials from women and men who talk about why they're marching, with reasons ranging from "for my daughter, my granddaughter, my mother and every woman in America" to "for this country and democracy." In addition to conducting interviews at the Women's National Democratic Club in Washington, where Offenbach spoke with people from all walks of life who told why they were taking part in the march, the video includes scenes shot during the march itself, including scenes of such speakers as Gloria Steinem, US Senator Kamala Harris and actors and activists Jeffrey Wright, Debi Mazar, Ashley Judd and America Ferrara.
