Participant & Conduit Films Team On American Girl Documentary Featuring Doll Line’s Elusive Creator Pleasant Rowland
A new American Girl documentary from Participant and Conduit Films will feature the doll line's elusive creator, Pleasant Rowland.
Introduced in 1986 by Rowland, who was formerly a schoolteacher, the American Girl line originally featured 18-inch historical dolls with authentic period outfits, accessories and a series of books. In a statement to Deadline, EPs Sexton and Linde said, “American Girl has championed stories of resilience, empowerment, and inclusion, and this film offers a powerful opportunity to bring those beloved characters to life on screen. An Oscar-winning production company known for its socially conscious storytelling, with projects ranging from Spotlight to Green Book and An Inconvenient Truth, Participant announced its intention to shutter in April after a 20-year run, with most of its 100-person staff being let go.
