Geraldine Ferraro: Paving The Way (2013)

Documentary on Geraldine Ferraro (1935-2011), the New York congresswoman who in 1984 would become the first woman in U.S. history to run for the vice presidency on a major party political ticket. Of course this democratic ticket (headed by former vice president Walter Mondale) would lose horribly to Ronald Reagan's 49 state re-election landslide, still Ferraro was an interesting and accomplished woman, and the fact that she was on the ticket a historic game changer. This film was directed by Ferraro's daughter Donna Zaccaro. ***
