Artemisia Gentileschi, New film - "a woman like that"

http://awomanlikethatfilm.com/ - The provocative work and heroic life of 17th Century female artist Artemisia Gentileschi inspires filmmaker Ellen Weissbrod's own coming-of-middle age, as she overcomes her doubts and fears, travels the world and even goes undercover to right a centuries old wrong. Her heartfelt hunt upends 'dead artist' films to deliver a new kind of documentary. The power of storytelling in paintings, films and in our lives is revealed as the filmmaker learns that who gets to tell the story matters, and that maybe she too can be, "a women like that."
