Op-Doc Movie about Patsy Mink

I'm in the middle of watching this 20 min. Op-Doc movie from the NY Times about Patsy Mink. It's fantastic! The director is Ben Proudfoot, who also directed the Queen of Basketball, which won an Oscar for best short doc, the Queen of Basketball, which I've shown to kids a number of times.


This film has a lot in it about 20th century history, discrimination and civics in a compelling personal narrative voiced by Patsy Mink's daughter. Great for AAPI Heritage month (which is part of the reason I'm looking at it)
