She Dared to Dream (In Development)
Following the success of Barbara Lee: Speaking Truth to Power, which won the 2022 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Documentary, we are proud to announce She Dared to Dream, an empowering docuseries profiling women currently serving in the U.S. House of Representatives. Each episode will explore the unique journey of these trailblazing Congresswomen, from their personal "AHA" moments that inspired them to run for office, to the challenges they have faced, and what continues to drive them as they serve their districts.
The series kicks off with an in-depth look at Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, a Democrat from Massachusetts’ 7th Congressional District, who offers unprecedented access to her life and work in both Boston and Washington D.C. As a woman who rose from a small business owner in Jamaica Plain to a leading voice in Congress, Pressley’s story embodies the spirit of resilience and change. Through intimate interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, She Dared to Dream will capture her vision for a more just and equitable future, and highlight the support of fellow groundbreaking leaders like Senator Elizabeth Warren, Governor Maura Healey, and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.
Creative consultant Barbara Lee, who has been a mentor and inspiration to many of these women, lends her voice to the project, ensuring that the series serves as a platform for the next generation of political leaders. With an exceptional team of female producers and directors, She Dared to Dream is more than a series; it’s a movement to showcase the power, determination, and transformative impact of women in politics today.
