"Modern" touches-- especially that soundtrack, oy!-- and some bad acting mar this TV-movie about the American suffrage movement, ca. 1912.  I was actually thinking this was made in the '90s, that's how quickly this has dated.  A more period-appropriate sound and look would've served it better.  I only watched a quarter hour, so I can't address the romance and implied masturbation that some have brought up on IMDB.

I'm only tagging the actresses I saw and recognized.  (Adilah Barnes, from Roseanne, was in one scene as Ida Wells-Barnett.)  Katja von Garnier directed.
