America's Radical Women: Forgotten Voices of History
A compelling documentary that brings to light the extraordinary lives and contributions of radical American women who defied societal norms to champion justice, equality, and social change. Narrated by Janeane Garofalo, the film delves into the stories of activists, labor leaders, and social reformers whose impactful legacies have often been overlooked in mainstream history. Through archival footage, expert interviews, and historical reenactments, the documentary not only honors these trailblazers but also connects their enduring influence to contemporary movements for women’s rights and social justice.
E. Philip Brown is a public historian, author, and educator, . He holds a BA in Political Science from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and an MA in Public History from American Public University. Prior to teaching, Phil was in the telecommunication industry for over 22 years working for carriers such as AT&T, Qwest, and SBC. He and his wife, Chrisi, have two children and live in Haverhill.
History is often told through the lens of those in power, leaving many of the most courageous and transformative figures in the shadows. America’s Radical Women: Forgotten Voices of History is my attempt to change that—to bring to life the stories of fearless women who risked everything to fight for justice, equality, and progress.
As a public historian and filmmaker, I believe that understanding the past is essential to shaping the future. The women featured in this documentary—activists, labor leaders, and social reformers—were not just ahead of their time; they defined it. They challenged oppressive systems, defied societal norms, and laid the groundwork for the rights and freedoms we often take for granted today.
With narration by Janeane Garofalo, this film weaves together archival footage, expert insights, and dynamic storytelling to honor these trailblazers. But it is not just about history—it’s about the present and the ongoing struggles that demand our attention. Their voices still resonate, their fights are far from over, and their stories must be told.
I hope this documentary not only educates but also inspires viewers to carry forward the radical spirit of these extraordinary women. Let’s remember them, learn from them, and continue their work.

Navid Ghiasi, born on October 3, 1987, in Tehran, is a director, writer, actor, producer, singer, and songwriter. He studied theater and further honed his filmmaking skills by graduating from Azad Film School, where he studied directing and acting under the mentorship of Masoud Kimiai, one of Iran’s most renowned filmmakers. He is also a graduate of Invers School, specializing in directing and editing.
Navid Ghiasi completed his first short film, “In an Impasse”, in early 2025 as its writer, director, and producer. The film is currently competing in numerous international film festivals, gaining recognition and sparking interest among critics and cinephiles worldwide.
His acting career began with a role in the film “Pelak Haft Koocheh Paeez”, directed by Shahram Shah-Hosseini, followed by his performance in the film “Kamin”.
Beyond cinema, Navid Ghiasi is also an active presence in the music industry. As a songwriter, he has collaborated with many of Iran’s top singers, and as a singer himself, he has released several songs.
With an unwavering passion for art and cinema, Navid Ghiasi continues to push boundaries in filmmaking, striving for innovation and impactful storytelling in both the film and music industries.
As a filmmaker, I believe cinema is not just a medium of storytelling but a powerful tool to explore human emotions, societal dilemmas, and the unspoken struggles of individuals. In an Impasse is a deeply personal project born from my fascination with morally complex characters and the choices they make under pressure.
This film is a reflection of harsh realities—how desperation can drive a person to cross ethical boundaries and how society often leaves its most vulnerable members without options. Through Sara’s journey, I wanted to portray the psychological toll of injustice and the irreversible consequences of a single decision.
Stylistically, I aimed to create a raw, immersive experience where every frame conveys tension, unease, and emotional depth. The minimalist yet intense visual approach, combined with a restrained yet haunting performance by the cast, was key to amplifying the film’s impact.
I hope In an Impasse resonates with audiences, sparks discussions, and lingers in their minds long after the credits roll. To me, the true success of a film lies not in answers but in the questions it leaves behind.
Digital Support Group #75,200B
Soon departing for Mars in 2045, Digital Support Group #75,200 B, one of many groups throughout the world, plans its take-off to escape the effects of global warming poisoning the earth-or so they are told. Few decide to remain on earth-with dire consequences. A short, sci-fi screenplay. Visual effects interspersed throughout.
An eclectic playwright with roots as a journalist, Linda strives to create situations thwarting alienation in her audience. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, she launched her writing career as a reporter for ‘Newsday’ when she graduated from New York University. Immersing herself in theatre and film for several years, she raised her son singly, rescued four dogs, and taught high school English before receiving her Master of Arts in NYU’s Educational Theatre in Music and Performing Arts Professions.
She wrote over 20 plays and films, many of which she directed from New York to Los Angeles. She was positively reviewed by The Los Angeles Times for her comedy drama, ‘Prime Rib Wedding.’ The Tampa Bay Times wrote a feature article on Ms. Pallotta after she started a theatre workshop locally. She wrote and directed a short film, ‘Envirokids’ in Orlando for the county’s EPA as she taught theatre as an adjunct professor at Valencia College. She later taught at CUNY’s Baruch College in NYC.
Ms. Pallotta recently won 3 awards in the Indie FEST Film Awards May ‘23 & was selected semi-finalist in 8 international film festivals for her short and full length screenplays. She is published in the international journal ‘Literature Today’ as well as ‘Fresh Words.’ During the pandemic, Linda was chosen to be a finalist in the women’s festival of playwrights in New York City’s Crossways Theatre.
Listed on NPX (New Play Exchange), she is a Dramatist Guild member as well as SAG/AFTRA/AEA. Linda volunteers at Red Door Community (formerly Gilda’s Club) for those challenged by cancer, leading an improvisational workshop for both children and adults.
The purpose of my life is to create situations that others can identify with within their own lives, to make my audiences feel less alone. If, through my words, I can make life better for some, to share experiences in order to make others happier, then my goal to thwart alienation will be completed.
Hopefully my words will reverberate and help those who need clarification towards what they’re feeling. Creating a tear, a smile, a retort or a belly laugh makes me know my audience is feeling my words. If my words “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comforted,” I will be an artist, for only then will have embroidered a live tapestry called a screenplay.
