Bella Abzug proved that the woman’s place isn’t just solely in her home; it’s also in her country’s House. The celebrated late American lawyer, who also garnered praise for her work as a politician, social activist and a leader in the women’s movement, is being honored in the upcoming documentary, ‘Bella!’

The project is set to serve as the Closing Night Film at The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival. It will screen at the Castro Theatre on Sunday, July 30 at 8:05pm PT, and tickets may be purchased here.

‘Bella!’ will then open theatrically in New York on Friday, August 18 at the Village East by Angelika. The movie is then set to open in Los Angeles the following week, on Friday, August 25, at the Laemmle. In honor of ‘Bella!’s release, Film Factual is exclusively premiering the feature’s poster (above).

The documentary was written and directed Jeff L. Lieberman (‘The Amazing Nina Simone’). He also served as a producer on the movie with Jamila C. Fairley.

‘Bella!’ shows that as Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi lead the nation, they travel a path blazed by several women before them, notably Abzug. In 1970, when the United States was ruled by men, Abzug challenged the status quo, running a successful campaign from the streets of Manhattan that elevated her all the way to the halls of Congress. With her trademark hat and Bronx swagger, she entered Congress swinging, battling for credit cards for women, equality for the LGBTQ community and trailblazing a path for leadership that reflected the broad diversity of the country.

But, the most recognizable woman in politics also became the target of a Washington establishment resistant to change. With her eyes set on breaking the boys’ club of The U.S. Senate or becoming New York’s first female mayor, Abzug battled mounting forces from both the right and the left, and the powers of the Nixon Administration, the CIA, FBI and even The New York Times.

Using never-before-seen home movies, audio diaries, and a vast trove of newly-discovered news footage, ‘Bella!’ delves into a colorful and gritty era where one woman sacrificed her own political ambitions for future generations of female leadership.
