We are delighted to partner with STARZ on this premiere and the Transparency Talk which was scheduled in conjunction with the premiere.
As Barbara Lee says in the film, “This is a truth-telling moment in America” and we need to amplify her voice and those of her colleagues in the film, to help save our democracy at this critical time.
Barbara’s career has been based on empathy, calling out the needs of those most often forgotten in the halls of Congress. By sharing her story with a wider audience, we hope to strengthen the bonds which connect us as citizens of the world.
