SHAKING IT UP: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF LIZ CARPENTER tells the inspirational story of an extraordinary woman who experienced and helped shape some of the most vivid moments and movements of the 20th century. Journalist, White House official, author, humorist, political activist, and feminist leader: over her 89 years of service, Liz Carpenter was often front and center where history was unfolding, leaving her own indelible mark on events and people. Hers is an inspiring story of blazing professional trails while pushing forward an agenda for women's rights, the environment, and political engagement that is highly relevant today. Her magnetic Texas-sized personality, political know-how, and legendary wit gave her an outsized impact on historical events, including the JFK assassination, the launch of Great Society programs, and more. Carpenter's high-profile leadership roles in the National Women's Political Caucus, at the historic National Women's Conference in 1977, and in the national campaign for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment cemented her spot in American history. The film educates and inspires viewers to continue to shake things up in the ongoing quest for equal rights and human progress.
