Winner of the 2022 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Documentary, Barbara Lee: Speaking Truth to Power is an intimate, inspiring and timely portrait of former Congresswoman Barbara Lee, now running for Oakland mayor, a true pioneer on behalf of racial and economic justice, who raised two sons as a single mother on food stamps and was the lone no vote in opposition to the authorization of military force after the September 11th attacks.
An all-star cast including Senator Cory Booker, Rep. John Lewis, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, commentator Van Jones and author Alice Walker all share insights about what makes Barbara Lee unique as a public servant and as a truth-telling African American woman.
With filmmaker Abby Ginzberg in attendance for post-screening discussion.
