Meet the Inspiring Legends Behind ‘Tough Old Broads’ Who Redefined History

February 13, 2026

Stacey Tenenbaum Interview on Tough Old Broads.

Directed, written, and produced by Stacey Tenenbaum, Tough Old Broads follows three extraordinary women who continue to challenge convention, speak truth to power, and redefine what aging looks like. These are not just inspiring women — they are pioneers who were the first to break barriers in male-dominated spaces and never stopped pushing forward.

The documentary spotlights:

• Kathrine Switzer – The first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon in 1967 and a driving force behind women’s marathon inclusion in the 1984 Olympics. Founder of 261 FEARLESS and lifelong advocate for women’s empowerment through running.

• Siila (Sheila) Watt-Cloutier – Inuit activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee who reshaped the global conversation by linking climate change to human rights. Former International Chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Council and author of The Right to Be Cold.

• Sharon Farmer – The first woman and first person of color to serve as Director of White House Photography. Her career spans decades of cultural documentation and civil rights advocacy.

In this interview, Stacey Tenenbaum discusses:

• What defines a “tough old broad”
• The power of perseverance and legacy
• Capturing activism through an intimate documentary lens
• Why stories of older women are often overlooked — and why that needs to change
• The cultural and historical importance of preserving these narratives

Tough Old Broads is a celebration of courage, conviction, and women who refuse to fade quietly into the background.
