JFS Films reaches back in time to discover America's original "First Lady of Aviation", Harriet Quimby. Producer John Schwally seeks to reveal the illustrious Quimby as never before and re-introduce America to its original heroine of aviation.
Although her legacy has been overshadowed by the legend of Amelia Earhart, Harriet Quimby was the first aviatrix to capture America's imagination. During the dawn of flight, even as The Great Powers marched recklessly toward World War I, Quimby's pioneering spirit was paving the way for generations of women aviators - including Earhart.
Her signature purple flying suit made her immediately recognizable at air shows, but what kind of woman was cloaked beneath the satin?
Quimby will be the first documentary film to piece together the amazing yet elusive life of Harriet Quimby: Frontier Child, Actress, Journalist, Bohemian, Screenwriter, Photographer, World Traveler, and finally, Aviator. It will portray a compelling life long forgotten, yet desperately in need of scrutiny and celebration. Quimby is the story of one woman's quest for adventure - and equality - that rings true nearly a century after her death.
