LAFAYETTE, LA (press release) – LoudMouth Entertainment, a subsidiary of LoudMouth Marketing, announced the debut of its documentary screening series. The series, which starts Jan. 16, will feature the highly acclaimed Independent Lens PBS film “Ratified.”
Organizers share that the event will bring the community together for an evening of storytelling, reflection and conversation about women’s leadership and civic engagement in Acadiana.
According to its website, “Ratified” is a feature documentary about the 100-year struggle for constitutional gender equality, an inspiring story of a multi-racial, multi-generational and bipartisan effort to make Virginia the 38th and final state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.
“Ratified,” co-directed by filmmaker Deborah Riley Draper, weaves together the voices of women across generations, races and political backgrounds.
“This is not a political event—this is a cultural, historical and community conversation,” said Amber Carter, founder of LoudMouth Entertainment. “Lafayette is home to extraordinary women leading businesses, organizations and movements. Lafayette is ready to have the conversation that creates space for reflection, dialogue and connection across our community.”
Sponsored by LFTFiber and Acadiana Center for the Arts, the event will include an opening reception and conclude with a community conversation with the film’s director, Deborah Riley Draper, inviting local leaders and attendees to explore what progress looks like for Lafayette in 2026 and beyond.
