"Never doubt people like us, I guarantee you'll find a genius." 8/25/18
Gun violence. Opioid addiction. Forced marriage. The United States faces many crises, but in communities across the nation, women are taking a stand. Inspired by the spirit of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Great Big Story presents DEFENDERS: a new documentary series about five women taking action and helping others in remarkable ways. Stay tuned for the first story in the series, premiering Monday, August 27th.
