Tonight’s second and final screening in San Francisco on March 25, 2026 marks the 20th presentation of The WOMEN IN SECURITY Documentary since its premiere. What began in Chicago on July 17, 2025 as a single evening event has grown into something far more meaningful. From that very first night, it was clear this was not simply a premiere. It was the beginning of a movement. The film immediately sparked conversation, connection, and reflection, as audiences remained after the screening to share their experiences, perspectives, and appreciation for a story that had long gone untold.

As the documentary traveled from city to city, that momentum only grew stronger. Each screening became more than a presentation. It became a gathering point. Across theaters, conferences, universities, and international venues, audiences consistently described the experience as inspiring, validating, and unifying. Professionals from cybersecurity, physical security, intelligence, and risk management came together alongside students and emerging voices, all recognizing themselves within the stories being told. Q&A sessions turned into meaningful dialogue, and networking evolved into lasting connection. With every stop, The WOMEN IN SECURITY Documentary deepened its impact, reinforcing its role as both a celebration and a catalyst for change.

That journey now stands at a defining moment with this two-night presentation at RSAC in San Francisco onMarch 24 and 25, 2026. Surrounded by one of the world’s most influential cybersecurity gatherings, the film has drawn highly engaged audiences who remain long after the final frame for open discussion, shared insight, and collective reflection. The story is undeniable. The WOMEN IN SECURITY Documentary has evolved from a premiere into a powerful and expanding international movement, bringing people together, elevating voices, and leaving a lasting impression in every city it touches. And this is only the beginning. With upcoming screenings in Austin (April 2, 2026) and Toronto (April 8, 2026), and additional cities and global opportunities on the horizon, the journey continues.
