Black Women in Medicine: The Time is Now
Documentary written and directed by Crystal Emery
Chicago Tribune: 'Black Women in Medicine' relays struggles, triumphs of doctors.
Review by Janice Neumann- 2/6/2017
"The best filmmakers are those who know how to put together a great team," Emery said. That team included cinematographer Bobby Shepard (director of photography for the movie "Freedom Riders"). Emery also said she wanted to make the film a healing one, from the spunky music that marks its beginning scenes to the black high schoolers who speak hopefully about their future careers. It ends with an inspiring "Amen," sung by JoAnna Rhinehart. The doctors in the film often recount their struggles with humor."I was at a conference a couple of days ago and it was just assumed that I was not the surgeon," said Ellis, the cardiothoracic surgeon. "They finally said, 'Who's going to be doing the operation?' I said, 'Uh, that would be me … honest to goodness."

BY MARTIN DUBERMAN Directed by CHARLES MARYAN
Winner of 2016 Audelco Award for Best Revival
"JoAnna Rhinehart riveted my attention as Sojourner Truth, and with her powerful rendering of the blues “Before I’ll be a slave, I’ll be buried in my grave and be free.” She was able to embody many diverse characters with equal strength and very painful testimony with incredible self-control."
New York Theatre Wire 10/24/2015 http://www.nytheatre-wire.com/bb15101t.htm
"JoAnna Rhinehart's performance is a wonder of pain and strength!"
The Village Voice 11/3/15
"Rhinehart presented a multilayered performance filled with sadness, eagerness and anger as she reflected on the first day of school (from that morning to her arrival) for Elizabeth Eckford, the 15-year-old girl who integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., in 1957."
