Embedded Files
NOW IN PRE-PRODUCTION.
Produced in partnership with the Oswego County Historical Society, Courage and Conviction: Dr Mary Walker's War is the first feature-length documentary to fully chronicle the life of Dr. Mary Edwards Walker (1832–1919), Civil War surgeon and only female Medal of Honor recipient.
The film will trace Walker’s path through her formative childhood in Oswego County, to her tireless fight for an Army commission during the Civil War and her decades-long advocacy for women’s suffrage and dress reform. It will also examine her legacy and the ongoing, contested struggle around her memory.
