LILLY is a deeply emotional, political drama starring Academy Award nominee Patricia Clarkson in the title role, Tony award winner John Benjamin Hickey plays her beloved husband Charles, and Tony award winner Thomas Sadoski portrays Lilly’s brilliant civil rights attorney, Jon Goldfarb.
Based on the extraordinary life of Lilly Ledbetter, the woman President Obama honored by naming his first piece of legislation after her fight for justice, LILLY is a movie for this moment, illuminating the power of one courageous voice.
LILLY was independently financed from a pool of activated investors and donors, primarily mature women. A film about a woman over 60, starring a woman over 60, written and directed by a woman over 60, produced by women in their 50’s and 60’s, with exclusively female post-production and music departments, from start to finish, the legacy of Lilly Ledbetter powered our journey.
LILLY enjoyed a successful 2025 festival tour, winning many awards, theatrical distribution 90 city wide, now available on V.O.D. For more information visit: www.LillyMovie.com and follow us @LillyMovie on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Tiktok.
