Jane Musky is an accomplished Production Designer in the film industry. She directed and produced this film based on her own experience as a member of one of the first nationally ranked Woman’s Crew teams in the United States, formed in the 1970’s due to the passage of Title 9.
NINE is the story of a brave group of powerful young women who came together to petition for the inclusion of Woman’s Crew as a varsity sport at Boston University in the mid-1970’s. They went on to become national champions. This would not have happened without the passage of TITLE 9 which finally gave women the right to equal access to college sports facilities and coaches as well as the right to organize teams with varsity status. These pioneering athletes paved the way for the powerhouse that women’s collegiate sports has become today.
