Discover the remarkable life and legacy of Congresswoman Bella Abzug—a fearless and outspoken women’s rights activist—in the captivating documentary, “BELLA!” This award-winning film, written, directed, and produced by Jeff L. Lieberman, takes you on a powerful journey through her activism, politics, and social change. “BELLA!” is the recipient of The Library of Congress Lavine/Ken Burns Prize for Film.

As one of the few women in Congress in the 1970s, Bella broke barriers in a male-dominated political landscape, symbolizing courage, activism, and change. Her efforts to pass critical legislation—such as granting women the right to have credit cards in their names, introducing curb cuts for people with disabilities, and shifting federal funding from highways to mass transportation—had a significant impact on American society. The documentary helps preserve the memory of a woman who challenged the status quo and pushed for systemic change.

The film features our very own Steve Livengood, USCHS Director of Public Programs and Chief Guide, providing exclusive insights into Congresswoman Bella Abzug’s impact on American history.
