In January of 2008 the one hour documentary film "Julia Robinson and Hilbert's Tenth Problem," directed by George Csicsery, had its world premiere at the annual Joint Mathematics Meetings. Reaction to the film has been overwhelmingly favorable. The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) believes that the film deserves wider distribution, and this award will make the film available to the public through syndication by American Public Television (APT), thus making the film available for broadcast on more than 300 local public television stations throughout the U.S.Recent public discussions of the influence of gender on scientific and mathematical aptitude make it particularly timely to showcase stories that defy negative stereotypes. Julia Robinson and Hilbert's Tenth Problem is unlike what is already available, especially since it is about a woman in an era where women had few opportunities to excel at the highest level. And Julia Robinson was remarkable by any standard. Her contributions as a mathematician were recognized as the first woman mathematician to be elected to the National Academy of Science, the first woman president of the American Mathematical Society, and as a MacArthur Fellow.

2008 年 1 月，乔治·西西塞利 (George Csicsery) 执导的一小时纪录片《朱莉娅·罗宾逊和希尔伯特的第十个问题》在年度联合数学会议上进行了全球首映。对这部电影的反应非常积极。美国数学协会 (MAA) 认为这部电影值得更广泛的发行，该奖项将通过美国公共电视台 (APT) 的联合组织向公众提供这部电影，从而使这部电影可以在美国 300 多家地方公共电视台播出。最近关于性别对科学和数学能力影响的公众讨论使得展示那些挑战负面刻板印象的故事显得尤为及时。朱莉娅·罗宾逊和希尔伯特的第十个问题与现有的不同，特别是因为它是关于一个女性在一个女性很少有机会在最高水平上脱颖而出的时代的女性。无论以何种标准衡量，朱莉娅·罗宾逊都是非凡的。她作为数学家的贡献被认可为第一位当选美国国家科学院院士的女数学家、美国数学会第一位女主席以及麦克阿瑟院士。
