Movie Haiku:30-minute Oscar-nominated short feature (based on a 1917 novella by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Susan Glaspell) that has become a feminist classic. Believing that a woman killed her husband, a group of men search her house for evidence plus a motive. Jan frequently shows JURY during her lectures on women filmmakers. New tapes available from WOMEN MAKE MOVIES (www.wmm.com).
