You Are There: Susan B Anthony (1971)
The film depicts the trial of Susan B. Anthony, who was arrested for voting in the 1872 election, highlighting the struggle for women’s suffrage in America. Anthony argues that the Constitution grants citizenship and voting rights to all individuals, not just men, and challenges the unjust laws that deny women the right to vote. Despite her passionate defense, she is ultimately found guilty and fined, but her actions inspire future generations in the fight for women’s rights, culminating in the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920.
