MY NAME IS PAULI MURRAY

DIRECTORS / JULIE COHEN & BETSY WEST

History books barely mention this legal trailblazer, yet Pauli Murray was credited by RBG in the fight for gender equality, and Thurgood Marshall relied on Murray’s ideas in his civil rights cases. Using hours of previously unheard audio, never-before-seen videotapes and personal diaries, our documentary tells the astonishing story of a non-binary, Black luminary: the lawyer, activist, poet and priest who transformed our world.

​

“…an extraordinary documentary about an underrated civil rights giant who was way ahead of her time… [and] a jaw-dropping biography,” — The San Francisco Chronicle
