In "Look Us in the Eye," Cynthia Rich, Mannie Garza and Janice Keaffaber take the stereotypes of an ageist culture and turn them on their heads. Wearing brilliant t-shirts that declare "Old Women are Your Future" and carrying their giant multi-ethnic old woman puppet, POWER (Pissed Old Woman Engaged in Revolution), The Old Women's Project refuses invisibility and proclaims that old women are part of every social justice issue. Look Us in the Eye is intended for highschool girls, women of all ages, and the boys and men who care about us.

"Look Us in the Eye: The Old Women's Project opened my eyes to a rarely discussed form of discrimination--ageism. But, instead of dwelling on ageism as a cultural disease and making suggestions for reform, it profiles the activism of an organization that leads by example. It helped me to recognize the power of old women and the desperate need for true intergenerational activism." - Tony Lo Presti, Policy Advocate, Environmental Health Coalition, San Diego, CA "Abod has done it again!! Extraordinary!! Moving, passionate and courageous, Look us in the Eye, will challenge your ageism and point the path toward a liberatory politics of solidarity with old women." - M. Jacqui Alexander, Professor, Women and Gender Studies, University of Toronto "Incredibly powerful film! It encourages us to examine our stereotypes and prejudices. It uses humor and powerful images to convey the strength and brilliance of old women. Girls and women everywhere must see this film." - Lourdes Torres, Associate Professor, De Paul University "Every girl, every young woman, every woman should see this film and they should bring along the boys and men they know too!" - Krista Lyons-Gould, Publisher , Seal Press
