"The Life of the Party" follows Geanie Morrison, Sarah Davis, and Mayra Flores, women who built careers in the Texas House before leaving elected office. Morrison, who served in the state house for 25 years, said the film pairs with a panel discussion meant to spark conversation about women's leadership in politics.
The screening gives Victoria a firsthand look at three political careers that shaped state government from different corners of Texas. Few residents get to see that history up close, let alone discuss it with the people who lived it.
For anyone in the Crossroads area interested in how women navigate careers in state office, this is a rare chance to hear directly from three lawmakers who did exactly that. The panel discussion afterward suggests organizers want more than a passive viewing. They're aiming for actual dialogue about what it takes for women to break into and stay in Texas politics.
Three women, one legislative chamber, decades of combined service, and now one night in downtown Victoria to unpack all of it on screen.
