"Missing in
Action" is the untold story of the unsung women who helped
to invent television in post-war New York. They were television's
first directors, producers, writers, and PAs; but no one knows
who they are today. This documentary turns the spotlight on
these behind-the-scenes pioneers, toppling stale ideas of 1950’s
Woman and of Television’s Golden Age.
This documentary is made possible in part by the Women
In Film Foundation and contributions from individuals.
