From a Senate race in New Hampshire to the Presidential palace in Chile; from a team of high school debaters in New York City competing to participate in the Bella Abzug Leadership Institute to the halls of Parliament in Rwanda, women are becoming empowered. What inspires them, drives them, and keeps them at the top? In this documentary, originally aired on PBS's weekly news program "NOW," Maria Hinojosa embarks on her own personal journey to discover the struggles women and girls face as they embrace power and seek to change the world. The film provides an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the high-stakes risks, triumphs, and in some cases defeats, of being a woman leader today. A discussion with Hinojosa will follow the screening.
