This documentary tells the story of Marie Suize, who traveled from France to California during the Gold Rush in 1850 and was a successful goldminer and wine maker. She was arrested many times for wearing men’s clothes, and thus earned her nickname “Marie Pantalon.” Local expert Susan Butruille and other historians describe her singular life in this documentary by French filmmaker François Gaillard.

Join us after the film for a Q&A with Susan Butruille!
