| Lady Titans:
A Title IX Victory, directed by Jason
Scadron and produced by Liv
Violette, is a heart-warming story about a determined high school
coach and his crew. The film places a spotlight on coach Dee Campbell
and the T.C. Williams High School women's crew team on their quest
for a national championship.
The film also raises awareness about the monumental
strides made by Title IX - the 1972 law that prohibits sexual discrimination
in any educational program or activity within federally funded institutions.
In 1974, T.C. Williams High School led the charge toward ending
gender bias by fully supporting women's crew. As Title IX has been
in the books for over thirty years with staggering results, so too
has the Lady Titans coach Dee Campbell who founded the women's rowing
program at T. C. Williams.
The story is told through the perspective of Coach
Dee Campbell, Lady Titan '90 and Olympian Linda Miller, the team's
captain, and narrated by Dominique
Dawes. All the voices provide insights to the challenges of
the sport, the bonds that are formed, and the personal growth gained
from training to be the next LADY TITAN.
