We're Making a Documentary Film
Opportunity Bound - Stories of Harvey Girls

We are so excited and pleased to announce our collaboration with Gladys Films on a new documentary film titled, Opportunity Bound - Stories of the Harvey Girls. This feature length documentary, which recently received sponsorship from Orange County's PBS affiliate KOCE, interested in airing it for their viewers.

Following the PBS broadcast, Opportunity Bound will continue to be screened at railroad museums, educational institutions, libraries, senior communities and theatres across the country.

We are currently seeking sponsors and funding for this important historical documentary, which tells the unique story of the 150,000 young women who against the social norms of the day, left home in the early 1920's, 30's and 40's to work as waitresses in "Harvey House Restaurants" along the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad.

It is of vital importance that this story is told now, as there are only a few remaining former Harvey Girls still alive today. This may be the last opportunity to capture their unique view of the events of the last century and their wisdom for the new millennium.

If you would like to help support the film, take an active part or have information that you would like to share, please email us at info@womeninrailroading.com or call 818-346-4842.
