The Purpose

The “Real Rosies” of WWII had a huge impact on our society. Thanks to their fearless efforts, women today strive to enter the workforce in many industries previously deemed a “man’s world”. For this film, we have taken Real Rosies stories and created a character that symbolizes their collective strength, showcases their real experiences, and gives a story to the iconic character Rosie the Riveter. 

With this film, we will honor the working women of WWII, and empower women today by showing them they are capable of anything and deserve equality in all their pursuits.

Director's Statement 

Rosie the Riveter is a historical icon who has never been portrayed on the modern screen. She brings inspiration to girls and women around the world, and I wanted to give her a story that matched her strength. Taking real events from numerous “Real Rosies” experiences during the war I created a character that can represent the tenacity and fearlessness of all the women behind the war effort, while also portraying the struggles they went through then, and what women continue to go through today.

Rosie has been a driving force in my life, and it has been my dream to give her a story she deserves that promotes equality, intersectional feminism, and camaraderie among women. Girls should grow up knowing they can be their own heroes, and that is what this film is about. I am so grateful to everyone that helped me honor the Real Rosies, and I cannot wait to complete this film and share Rosie's story with the world.
