Martha, Ruth and Edie is a Canadian drama film, released in 1988. An anthology film directed by Deepa Mehta, Norma Bailey and Danièle J. Suissa, the film centres on the titular Martha, Ruth and Edie, who meet after being locked out of the auditorium at a personal development seminar, and instead share personal stories from their own lives among themselves. Each of their stories is a dramatization of a short story by a Canadian writer, and is directed by one of the three credited directors.
