About Barbara Lee: Speaking Truth To Power
With unique access to a sitting member of Congress, this documentary tells the complex story of Rep. Barbara Lee, a steadfast voice for human rights, peace, and economic and racial justice in Congress who cut her teeth as a volunteer for the Black Panther Party and was the lone vote in opposition to the broad authorization of military force following the September 11th attacks.
Directed by Abby Ginzberg, Barbara Lee: Speaking Truth To Power leans on a strong ensemble — Barbara Lee, Sue Taylor — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2020.
