Zingerman's Jelly Bean Jump Up Film Screening: “Empowered: Women Shaping The Future"

State Theatre | Monday, March 13th | 7pm | $40 General Admission
All proceeds go directly to SafeHouse Center.

The Roadhouse is excited to partner with the State Theater for a very exclusive event. On March 13th, please join us for a screening of “Empowered: Women Shaping the Future”, directed and produced by Christina Rose. Empowered is a documentary series about young women making a major impact serving in leadership positions in underrepresented industries. (The filmmakers define underrepresented as those in which 15% or less of a given profession has women in key positions.)

Each episode features one woman—a Puerto Rican baseball player, a Boeing 777 pilot from India, a race car driver from Hungary—telling the story of their journey, their hardships, their impact, and what they hope to achieve for future generations.

Together, we’ll watch Episode 1, "Finding Home," featuring Marie Rose (Christina’s cousin) from Shoreline Salmon in Alaska. Marie will be joining us for Q&A after the screening, and she is also our special guest for our Jelly Bean Jump Up special dinner at the Roadhouse on March 14th!

Marie Rose is a fisher woman and co-founder of the company Shoreline Wild Salmon, which distributes wild caught Alaskan salmon throughout the United States. Originally from Battle Creek Michigan, Marie early on knew she had a trait of making a difference in the world. But it wasn’t the spirit of adventure that drove her to leave, rather an abusive relationship that left its scars. While getting a look into Marie’s work as a fisher woman and how she and her two business partners, Joe and Keith, catch and distribute their salmon within Michigan, we learn of Marie’s personal journey of finding her new home and coming to terms with past demons.

This is an episode that touches on themes of domestic violence, resilience, and adventure on a journey of sacrifice, and determination, which also happens to be similar to the journey of the salmon. Told she would never achieve success, Marie is a force of nature, as she grows into a successful businesswoman and a caring person interested only in the welfare of others.

Please also join Marie Rose at Zingerman’s Roadhouse on Tuesday, March 14th at 7 p.m. for the 8th Annual Jelly Bean Jump Up special dinner, benefitting SafeHouse Center. The menu will feature salmon from Shoreline Wild Salmon and a silent auction in support of SafeHouse Center.
