518    Originally produced by California Newsreel in 1980. 
520    The story of eight women in America's heartland--Willmar, 
       Minnesota--who were driven by sex discrimination at work 
       to find themselves unexpectedly at the forefront of the 
       struggle for women's rights. The Willmar 8 is Academy 
       Award winner Lee Grant's documentary about working women 
       which has been featured on the front page of The Wall 
       Street Journal, excerpted on 60 Minutes, and was broadcast
       nationally by PBS. The film tells the story of eight 
       unassuming, apolitical women in America's heartland--
       Willmar, Minnesota--who were driven by sex discrimination 
       at work to take the most unexpected step of their lives 
       and found themselves in the forefront of the struggle for 
       women's rights. Risking jobs, friends, family and the 
       opposition of church and community, they began the longest
       bank strike in American history in a dramatic attempt to 
       assert their own equality and self-worth. "The true drama 
       of America...A revealing portrait of an American small 
       town and how the lives of eight women changed as they 
       withstood community disapproval and gained a new sense of 
       themselves." - Judy Stone, San Francisco Chronicle. "There
       could be no better film to show skeptics what the women's 
       struggle is all about or to show women that the struggle 
       is worth it." - Gloria Steinem. 
       "Forthright...moving...inspiring...Explores contemporary 
       folk heroism with an active admiring energy." - Janet 
       Maslin, New York Times. "An insightful and moving portrait
       of eight midwestern women who challenged the very values 
       with which they were raised and, in the process learned 
       how strong and capable they really were...It honors them, 
       as will audiences in colleges, public libraries, labor 
       organizations, and women's groups." - Booklist. "The real 
       life Nine to Five" - Los Angeles Times. "One of the most 
       moving and stirring films I've ever seen. It's a story of 
       courage and awakening conscience that will change anyone 
       who sees it." - Alan Alda.
