Finding Justice: The Untold Story of Women’s Fight for the Vote, tells the story of a band of intrepid women and their one-time bronze bell that became a celebrated icon of the women’s suffrage movement. Amanda Owen, the presenter of the film, is an author and independent scholar of women’s history who co-founded the Justice Bell Foundation. Owen wrote and directed the documentary and is currently writing a book about the Justice Bell’s role in the American women’s suffrage movement.

Finding Justice premiered at the National Women’s History Museum on August 26, 2020 with a screening and panel discussion with Amanda Owen, Executive Director/filmmaker, and Rosie Rios, President Obama's Treasurer. Since then, Finding Justice has aired on PBS (WQLN and WHYY) and for a number of institutions and organizations. 

“Finding Justice: The Untold Story of Women’s Fight for the Vote will inspire every viewer as well as inform them about this remarkable chapter in American history, and what happened afterwards. New research and historical photographs bring the story alive and establish the Justice Bell as a singularly iconic symbol of women’s long drive for liberty, equality and justice.” Robert P. J. Cooney, Jr., author of Winning the Vote: The Triumph of the American Woman Suffrage Movement
