When a Fokker F7 seaplane landed in Trepassey harbour on June 7, 1928, it set the town buzzing. One of the crew of three was a woman!

Join filmmaker, Lorne Warr at the screening of his film, A Woman in Pants, the story of how Amelia Earhart, an unknown Boston social worker became an international superstar.
