Madeline Anderson is an award-winning filmmaker, producer, editor, and educator. She was inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1992. With exceptional determination, Anderson endeavored to tell the stories of people who were not represented in the films she was seeing. She broke down barriers of race and gender.

At 102 years old, Madeline is still an inspiration to us, and her work continues to inspire change. Her story is a story you should know.
