Abstract
Distributed by Good DocsProduced by Abby Ginzberg and Christy CarpenterDirected by Abby Ginzberg and Christy Carpenter2024, Streaming, 56 mins Shaking It Up: The Life and Times of Liz Carpenter delivers a highly informative look at the life of journalist, savvy political aide, and advocate for women’s equality, Liz Carpenter. Born in Texas in 1920, Carpenter graduated from the University of Texas and began her career as a reporter. With her husband, a fellow journalist , she moved to Washington, D.C., where she covered the White House for Texas newspapers. During this time, Liz Carpenter paved the way for women reporters; as the film repeatedly states, she was a trailblazer because there was no trail for a woman reporter to follow. Transitioning from journalism, she became a key aide to Lyndon Johnson upon his rise to the Vice-Presidency. Her seemingly ubiquitous proximity to major moments in the 20th Century is exemplified by her presence on Air Force One when Johnson took the oath of office after the assassination of President Kennedy. In fact, Carpenter wrote the statement that Johnson made upon arriving back in Washington. The film provides numerous other examples. Shaking It Up is a well-produced film. The roster of interviewees runs the gamut from celebrity (the Johnson daughters), to scholarly, to political. These speakers provide insightful commentary on Liz Carpenter’s work, personality, and life. These interviews are expertly interspersed with archival photos and film footage. The film’s editing deserves special commendation. Shaking It Up: The Life and Times of Liz Carpenter is highly recommended. Courses in political science, women’s studies, U.S. history, journalism, and many others would benefit by including this film on the syllabus. Further, Shaking it Up is a documentary worth watching on its own merits, as its subject is fascinating and the skill of the filmmakers is abundant.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
