Inspired by the historic Atlanta Washerwomen’s Strike of 1881, The Wash is a dynamic journey that follows the women who dared to demand more - more pay, more respect, more power over their own lives. What begins as a fight for $1 per dozen pound of laundry becomes a groundbreaking stand for dignity and justice, uniting workers across racial and social lines in one of the most remarkable labor strikes of the post-Civil War era.
The Wash is a human story that offers an intimate and often funny look at ordinary women who went from workers to fighters - and won.
