Photo: Charlie Engman It’s the first full day of the Traverse City Film Festival in Michigan, and outside the State Theatre, Jane Fonda’s 1970 mug shot is blown up to poster size.
Lots of women experienced the 2016 election as a galvanizing event. For Fonda, though, this wasn’t anything new; it was more of an opportunity to renew her commitment to the work that’s defined much of her life. She’s been an actress and activist for going on 50 years, but the two roles have never blended as seamlessly as they do today.
I tell her backstage at the theater that I was struck by her compassion for a man who obviously caused her major hurt. She nods, overcome with emotion; her chin drops to her chest. She keeps it there for a long moment, excusing herself. When she straightens up again, her voice is still choked up. “I’ve worked hard on forgiveness, and that includes for my three husbands,” she says. The next sentence comes out in a rush: “God, when you get old, forgiveness is so important.

Moore first met Fonda, he explains, when he was 16 and she and Hayden were touring the country meeting with religious groups opposed to the war. “You were such an inspiration for me,” he says. Fonda tells Moore his documentaries have been “life-altering.
