BE NATURAL: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché
Directed/Produced by: Pamela B. Green
Narrated by Jodie Foster
An investigation of the full scope of the life and work of cinema’s first female director, screenwriter, producer, and studio owner Alice Guy-Blaché. She made her first film in 1896 at age 23, and went on to write, direct, or produce more than 1,000 more!
