From Roses to Rivets is an HD video documentary comprised of two parts - a one-hour program intended for broadcast television and two extra hours of content to be made available to educational and archival institutions.





















The program traces the extraordinary contribution of women to the labor movement from the Gold Rush to the present and recounts the hard fought battles in their quest to win dignity and equality in the workplace. While the issues raised will reflect those facing working women across the country, California will take center stage as the state has through the years led the nation in championing progressive labor standards that were then embraced nationwide - policies such as the eight-hour work day, the establishment of child labor laws as well as breaking down racial and gender barriers.


The documentary is currently in production and is slated to air in 2011.
