'Raise Hell' Delves Into The Life Of Brilliant, Outspoken Rabble-Rouser, Molly Ivins
Molly Ivins is a Texas icon. She was a “First Amendment warrior, she spoke truth to power, gave voice to those that didn’t have one,” says filmmaker Janice Engel. She covers it all in her documentary, “Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivins.”
Engel says she was “knocked out” by what she learned about Ivins during her research.
“I’ve been climbing a mountain called ‘Molly’ for six-plus years,” Engel says.
What especially stood out was how Ivins promoted civic engagement through her work.
“Especially in school and getting education,” Engel says. “I think her voice … may be more relevant now than even when she was alive.”

Molly Ivins was a brilliant, passionate, and funny, FUNNY voice of reason.
So glad to see that there is now a movie celebrating her life and wit.
(Magnolia always makes wonderful films)
Wishing you well and peace.

I also admired Molly Ivins and enjoyed reading her columns. I knew that others here on DU would appreciate reading the news.
I'm moving on Saturday so the good wishes are also appreciated and timely.
