This is probably the finest documentary I've ever seen on filmmaking. I've been trying to purchase it on Blu-ray, but it seems to be out of print on TCM. The series has a very calm, relaxed pace as several narrators quietly examine scenes from many films from all over the world. I've been able to locate some of these films to watch in their entirety, and it really opened my eyes re: understanding how a very small group of women have been creating films almost since cinema started. The series is long and consists of 14 different parts, but I found it to be almost hypnotic to watch and was never bored.
