14 Women (Widescreen) : With the opening of the 109th Congress, the number of women in the US Senate rocketed from nine to fourteen, with more females serving in 2002 than in the entire 228-year history of the legislative branch. Three powerful states, Washington, California and Maine, were suddenly represented by not just one but two women senators, and places as far flung as Alaska and North Carolina have joined the fray, signifying a broad spectrum of the American political landscape on both sides of the aisle. In one pivotal term, the architecture of the U.S. political machine appeared to have been dramatically altered. History, it would seem, was in the making. Had the door of opportunity finally swung open, or did it happen to creak accidentally ajar? Do Americans want women in political office and what will they do to get them in, keep them in or throw them out? In "14 Women" we explore these questions by creating an intimate documentary portrait of the 14 female senators who currently serve our country, utilizing a cinema verite, fly-on-the-wall approach to follow them as they struggle to fight the good fig...
