Geraldine Ferraro: Paving the Way • WXXI-TV

WXXI TV

Geraldine Ferraro made herstory when she became the first female nominee for national office by a major party.

Geraldine Ferraro: Paving the Way airs Thursday, August 29 at 8 p.m. on WXXI-TV.

This feature-length documentary looks at the life of this trailblazer, who served as role model for women and men across the nation and around the world. It features never-before-seen archival footage and stills, intimate interviews with Ferraro and commentary by many of the leading political figures of our day, including President Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton, President and Mrs. George H. W. Bush, Vice President Walter Mondale, Secretary Madeleine Albright, Senators Barbara Mikulski and Olympia Snowe, Congresswomen Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Kennelly and Jane Harman, Congressmen Vic Fazio and Tony Coelho and many others. Filmmaker Donna Zaccaro creates a moving, powerful and oftentimes surprising portrait of her mother, who changed the face of American politics forever.
