A Woman Like That (2010)

The provocative work and heroic life of 17th Century female painter Artemisia Gentileschi inspires filmmaker Ellen Weissbrod as she overcomes her own doubts and fears, travels the world and even goes undercover to right a centuries-old wrong. Her heartfelt hunt upends typical artist biographies and delivers instead an altogether different kind of documentary. The power of storytelling, in paintings, in films and in our lives is revealed as the filmmaker learns that who gets to tell the story matters, and that maybe she too, can be 'A Woman Like That.'
