Audiences Love "Girl from Birch Creek"!


Comments from viewers:


"I feel UPLIFTED after seeing the premiere of the movie "The Girl from Birch Creek". THANK YOU to John Kaul and Emily Haddad for an incredible story told with the finest attention to detail. I laughed, and cried and feel so proud to have such a rich heritage. Well done! Bravo!!!"

"I just saw the movie & am so grateful for the privilege! I'm struggling to write e-mails & texts to "my kids" {nieces  & daughters of friends} -- tears still blurring my vision as I continue to be moved by the messages I came away with ... reminders of the many women who worked so hard to advance women's issues & for gender equality. I was thrilled to see young people in the audience - such a rich history lesson they got tonight. I'll be checking your Website to learn if there'll be additional showings, so I can bring "my kids" to meet Justice Wahl & because I want them to learn about the efforts of her & other women ... efforts that now allow young women to KNOW {not just hope} that they can choose any path they want!"

"The film was...for lack of a better term - exquisite - It was informative/educational, entertaining, heartwarming - I teared up just listening to her speech. The overwhelming feelings of what women's rights has gone through and an advocate for those rights to get us where we are at today."  

"Wednesday night was wonderful.  Thanks for the opportunity to be present at the "preview" of GIRL.....!  The big question I've had from friends and colleagues is:  "When will it be shown again....and where?"  Thanks again."


"Frances and I had an amazing mother-daughter date night at the premiere of "Girl From Birch Creek," the documentary about MN Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Wahl. The film is fantastic -- from beginning to end. Congrats to filmmakers John Kaul and Emily Haddad on a job well done!"
