Most Americans believe the US Constitution protects gender equality. It does not. Ratified is a feature documentary about the 100-year struggle for constitutional gender equality, an inspiring story of a multi-racial, multi-generational, bi-partisan effort to make Virginia the 38th and final state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. It's also a story of how bureaucracy is used to stifle progress, and it takes a close look at the incredible perseverance of women-specifically the Black women leaders who have taken their rightful place at the front of the movement for gender equality.
