“SEX RADICAL” Film: Limited Online Streaming Period

Please join New History Films for a limited online streaming period of “SEX RADICAL,” our new documentary-drama about Ida Craddock, a pioneer in the struggle for free expression and women’s reproductive rights in the late 19th century. A sex educator, author, and spiritualist, Ida Craddock risked everything to challenge the 1873 Comstock Act, which prohibited the distribution of information about sex, contraception, and abortion. Using archival sources like personal letters, interviews, and historical documents to write the script, the filmmaker, Andy Kirshner, shares Ida’s inspiring and timely story of determination and resistance through the voice of the film’s narrator, Emma Goldman – another important feminist pioneer of the early 20th century.

The film is free to view, but we hope you will consider making a donation on the registration page.
