As told by her daughter Wendy, MINK! chronicles the remarkable life of Patsy Takemoto Mink, a Japanese American from Hawaii who became the first woman of colour elected to the U.S. Congress. Mink is on a harrowing mission to co-author and defend Title IX, the law that transformed education and athletics in America for generations of girls and women.

Academy Award winner Ben Proudfoot (QUEEN OF BASKETBALL, CIFF 2021) continues his stretch of powerful documentaries with MINK! A pseudo-prequel to his previous film, Patsy Mink opened the door to sports for women like Lucy Harris.
