From 2007, The Motherhood Manifesto Screening:

"A companion to the book by the same name, written by the co-founders of momsrising.org, The Motherhood Manifesto looks at our country's support system for mothers-from wages and paid family leave to health care and more. Obviously, we don't come out looking so good, especially compared to other, less wealthy countries. Rather than just be an onslaught of badd news, though, this documentary aims to be entertaining, informative, and most importantly, motivating." -- Marjorie Skinner, The Portland Mercury

"Using personal stories, hilarious animation and expert narration, Laura Pacheco and John de Graff's poignant documentary, "The Motherhood Manifesto," illustrates how public policy is failing far too many working mothers in America nad how, through action, paid family leave, flexible schedules, universal health care and livable living wages can become a reality in our modern society. Before the film, a Mother's Day Market sponsored by Milagros Boutique will take place in the theater lobby, featuring goods from local, women-owned businesses and a performance by Super XX Man. Proceeds from the event will support MomsRising.org and the 2008 Portland Women's Film Festival." -- Suzie Ridgway, Portland Tribune
