Two Films by Lorraine Gray
Director-Producer-Writer
With Babies and Banners: Story of the Women’s Emergency Brigade
The dramatic, untold story of the women in the Great General Motors Sit-Down Strike — the strike which changed American labor history. Forty years later these women reunite.
“Full of drama, insight and general good humor. . . With Babies and Banners succeeds in making concerns that were alive 40 years ago strikingly relevant for today.”
Variety
“Lorraine Gray’s documentary offers a fascinating view . . . a harrowing account. [One of] sixty-two films that shaped the art of documentary filmmaking.”
The New Yorker
“. . . sparks the New York Film Festival. . . perhaps the most revelatory film.”
