TRUTH TO POWER: BARBARA LEE SPEAKS FOR ME

TRUTH TO POWER: BARBARA LEE SPEAKS FOR ME

Runner Up: Audience Award DOC NYC 2020

An intimate, inspiring, and timely portrait of Congresswoman Barbara Lee, a true pioneer of American civil rights who was the lone voice in opposition to the authorization of military force after the September 11th attacks. A unique selection of political commentators, activists, politicians, and family members add depth to the story of the highest-ranking Black woman in the US Congress. Uncompromising and conscientious to the core, she is its most steadfast voice for peace, and for economic and racial justice.
