Her remarkable contributions would come to light decades after her death, when secret government files were unsealed. But together with her husband, the legendary cryptologist William Friedman, Elizebeth helped develop the methods that led to the creation of the powerful new science of cryptology and laid the foundation for modern codebreaking today.

While curb cuts, ramps at building entrances, and braille on elevator buttons seem commonplace today, they were once the subject of a pitched battle that landed on the steps of Congress. Told through the voices of key participants and witnesses, the film highlights the determined people who literally put their bodies on the line to achieve their goal and change the lives of all Americans. A story of courage and perseverance, the film brings to life one of the great civil rights movements in American history, where ordinary people made their voices heard and Congress responded. A testament to the power of coalition building and bipartisan compromise, the passage of the ADA is a shining example of democracy in action. https://hilaryklotzsteinman.com/filmography/loud-enough monthly 0.5 2025-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5af36ae925e0699b7cc9ab/b751689f-f463-4589-8833-76abbf5848e5/Loud+Enough+-+Surviving+Justice+poster+354093125_1008239593522895_2125704926732628130_n.jpg Filmography - Loud Enough - Director & Producer Engel Entertainment, Distributed by Women Make Movies LOUD ENOUGH - SURVIVING JUSTICE follows the story of Madison Smith, a sexual assault survivor, and her tight-knit family as they fight for justice and systemic change. This intimate, personal film, directed by the Emmy Award-winning producer Hilary Klotz Steinman, reveals the Herculean effort still required for a survivor of sexual violence and their loved ones to hold an attacker and the U.S. judicial system accountable. After surviving a life-threatening sexual assault and re-traumatized by her treatment by the police and prosecutor, Madison was stunned when the local county prosecutor declined to file charges against the rapist, despite a strong case and compelling physical evidence. Madison and her family refused to let the criminal justice system deny the facts and ignore her case, or to give up their quest for legal consequences. LOUD ENOUGH - SURVIVING JUSTICE chronicles the poignant journey of an ordinary family confronting a system biased against them, undergoing personal transformation, and embarking on a new mission as activists fighting for lasting change. Through their emotional wins and crushing defeats, this compelling story demonstrates the power of love, tenacity, and community to survive, and explores concrete ways in which the criminal justice system in America can and must change. https://hilaryklotzsteinman.com/filmography/children-of-the-inquisition monthly 0.5 2020-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5af36ae925e0699b7cc9ab/1583350809134-T5IUEUP1VNBSQ57I2U7X/COI+Postcard+Graphic+%28March+2019%29.png Filmography - Children of the Inquisition - Producer: Children of the Inquisition Lovett Stories & Strategies Children of the Inquisition is an eye opening reconsideration of history and identity that unearths the long-hidden secrets of what happened to the people forced to convert or flee during the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions. Their stories are told through contemporary descendants, many of whom are just now discovering their once problematic Jewish roots. Children of the Inquisition takes us on a journey unearthing 500 years of diaspora and hidden history. Through their discoveries of their families’ flights to safety, our characters come to understand how their ancestors shaped history and how their perilous history shaped their identities. “Children of the Inquisition reveals to us an important but little-understood history that has never before received in-depth treatment in film. It’s essential viewing and a ‘must-watch’ film for any serious student of history.” - Kevin Jennings, President, Tenement Museum “An eye opening story spanning half the globe, as rich as a tapestry, as immediate and touching as family memories, and sensitive to every point of view - including Catholic ones.” - Robert Calderisi, Author of Earthly Mission: The Catholic Church and World Development https://hilaryklotzsteinman.com/filmography/death-by-design monthly 0.5 2020-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5af36ae925e0699b7cc9ab/1583368754471-6WJJTJGMNCZI7PUMWRZW/DbD%2Bphoto.jpg Filmography - Death by Design - Producer: Death by Design Ambrica Productions “Consumers love – and live on – their smartphones, tablets and laptops.

In an investigation that spans the globe, filmmaker Sue Williams investigates the underbelly of the electronics industry and reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs.

In so doing, they landed at the center of a controversy whose reverberations continue to this day. "The battle over in vitro fertilization (IVF) drew in scientists, social activists, religious leaders, lawmakers and everyday Americans," says Gazit.

Drawing on a wealth of recent scholarship, it looks at slavery as an integral part of a developing nation, challenging the long held notion that slavery was exclusively a Southern enterprise. At the same time, by focusing on the remarkable stories of individual slaves, it offers new perspectives on the slave experience and testifies to the active role that Africans and African Americans took in surviving their bondage and shaping their own lives.” - Series Website https://hilaryklotzsteinman.com/filmography/aging-out monthly 0.5 2020-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5af36ae925e0699b7cc9ab/1583354333504-3FENVBACMCGZ6LCDOBSI/MV5BMjA0NzEyNjIxM15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzU2NDMzMQ%40%40._V1_.jpg Filmography - Aging Out - Field Producer: Aging Out Public Policy Productions “A profile of three teenagers who "age out" of the foster care system and suddenly discover that they're on their own.

For women across the country, the contraceptive pill was liberating: it allowed them to pursue careers, fueled the feminist and pro-choice movements and encouraged more open attitudes towards sex. Among the key players in the development of the drug were two elderly female activists who demanded a contraceptive women could eat like aspirin and then paid for the scientific research; a devout Catholic gynecologist who believed a robust sex life made for a good marriage and argued tirelessly that the Pill was a natural form of birth control; and a brilliant biologist who bullied a pharmaceutical company into risking a possibly crippling boycott to develop this revolutionary contraceptive. In describing the obstacles they all hurdled, The Pill presents a compelling account of a society in transition.” - Film Website https://hilaryklotzsteinman.com/filmography/eleanor-roosevelt monthly 0.5 2020-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5af36ae925e0699b7cc9ab/4a8d4d6b-e0ae-49dc-8e07-66f6b9e7634d/eleanor_film_landing_1-resize-2800x0-50.jpg Filmography - Eleanor Roosevelt - Associate Producer: Eleanor Roosevelt Ambrica Productions for American Experience “She was one of the best politicians of the twentieth century.

Interludes of relative calm and increased prosperity were interrupted repeatedly by violent campaigns, purges, and a famine in which killed more than 30 million people. It culminated in Mao’s colossal and tragic experiment, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. When Mao died in 1976, people were exhausted by the turmoil and longed for stability. What happened next could never have been anticipated and forms the story line for the final film of the trilogy; BORN UNDER THE RED FLAG examines China’s remarkable transformation after Mao’s death. In just 15 years, under Deng Xiaoping’s leadership, China raced forward at an astonishing pace to become a never-before-seen hybrid of communism and capitalism. The world’s most populous nation has reinvented itself, changing from a relatively undeveloped and isolated nation into an economic giant and a major international power. For many Chinese, this transformation has brought unprecedented prosperity, but it has also raised troubling questions of national identity and social inequality.” - Film Website https://hilaryklotzsteinman.com/filmography/becoming-american monthly 0.5 2025-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5af36ae925e0699b7cc9ab/f05c355d-7331-43e8-9995-d60ef108c211/Screenshot+2025-03-17+at+12.29.20%E2%80%AFPM.png Filmography - Becoming American - The Chinese Experience - Associate Producer Public Affairs Television/Bill Moyers Special for PBS This three-part series explores the historic saga of Chinese immigrants and issues of race, cultural identity and assimilation at the heart of an increasingly diverse America. Bill Moyers documents how, for over 50 years, the Chinese – like other immigrants to this country – have pursued the American dream. Theirs is a compelling tale of struggle and triumph, progress and setback, separation and assimilation, discrimination and achievement. It is a story of the collision of two cultures, and a narrative that has been largely left out of history books. (2003)
