‘Sister Senators’ Follows Battle Against Division, Misogyny in South Carolina’s Upper House: ‘We Are the Losers in This Toxic Environment’


Upcoming documentary by Emily Harrold follows South Carolina’s ‘Sister Senators’ as they battle political divide and misogyny.

As the November election looms, director Emily Harrold isn’t focusing on the U.S. political divide. Margie Bright Matthews, Katrina Shealy, Mia McLeod, Penry Gustafson and Sandy Senn started collaborating in the wake of the Dobbs decision – the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that ended the constitutional right to abortion – and because they realized there’s strength in numbers. “Sister Senators,” presented at Ji.hlava Documentary Film Festival ’s U.S. Docs showcase, is produced by Harrold and Robin Hessman, and co-produced by Rachel Denny.
