Filmed throughout 2018 and into 2019, by a team of women filmmakers of color, the two-night special features a dynamic slate of history-makers including: Stacey Abrams (GA), Rashida Tlaib (MI), Lucy McBath (GA), Veronica Escobar (TX), Maria Elena Durazo (CA), and Bushra Amiwala (IL). We also follow the incredible “hidden figures” of the movement-women of color organizers without whose work, nothing would be possible. In our story, absolutely nobody is waiting to be saved.
This two-part documentary premiered over two nights --June 29 & 30 2020-- on POV as part of PBS’ Female Trailblazers programming pillar, celebrating 100 years of women’s suffrage.
