RSVP Here | Watch the Women In Blue Trailer Here
Women in Blue follows three female police officers—Cmdr. Melissa Chiodo, the first woman head of Special Crimes; Sgt. Alice White, who leads procedural justice trainings; and rookie Officer Erin Grabosky, who works the night patrol. In her moving documentary, Director Deirdre Fishel charts their progress and efforts to remake the department to become more inclusive, capturing the frustrations and hopes of Chiodo, White and Grabosky, who all struggle in different ways with the challenges of being a woman in a predominantly and traditionally male profession.
Then, stick around after the film for a live Q&A discussion, which will include two women featured in the film, Cmdr. Chiodo and Catherine Johnson, department director of corrections for Hennepin County; as well as Ganesha Martin, the chief of Baltimore’s Department of Justice Compliance, Accountability and External Affairs Division, who has served in several positions in Baltimore City government overseeing collaborative criminal justice efforts.
