Iron Jawed Angels - Force Feeding Scene

Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) in Iron Jawed Angels is force fed after refusing to eat. The women singing "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" are suffragettes who have been imprisoned for supporting the women's right to vote.


Song Lyrics:

I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

For I told that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For that body you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

I will follow close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

To all women: we must not take for granted our right to vote! We must remember what it took for us to be able to vote! Be politically informed! Be politically active!

This movie is so underrated. This scene is one of the most powerful I've seen in any movie.

[FileStalker]

[Ladyjay44]

Wow! I will be renting this movie tonight that's deep!

To all these deranged men who keep harping on about "women need to go back to the kitchen blah blah blah" - it ain't gonna happen so why bother bleating about it? If you want to live in your little fantasy world with Doris Day, then go right ahead - but don't bring us into it. Just because you are too useless in this day and age to make your own sandwich is not our problem.
