First ever recorded official bill for International Women's Day in America. Beata Pozniak, actress and director, worked with the Mayor of Los Angeles, Governor of California, and U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters for political recognition of International Women's Day in the United States. In 1994, at Beata's suggestion, Congresswoman Waters introduced and arranged for passage of the first bill in the history of the U.S. (H.J. Res. 316) for national recognition of this special day, designating March 8th, 1994 as "International Women's Day".

With appearances by Maxine Waters, Gloria Allred, Stevie Wonder, Betty Friedan, Barbara Trent, Irene Opdyke, Stefania Burzminski, Rose Freedman, Allison Anders, Illeana Douglas, Diane Lane.
