In this series on Women in Film & Cinema, we will look at films and television shows through the lens of the stories that have not historically been seen as heroic, the stories that have not been told relative to new models of heroism that are relevant to both women and men. I invite you to join me for conversations with two women who have had successful careers within the Hollywood filmmaking industry as we look at contemporary cinema and TV through a wider lens that makes room for the multi-faceted journeys of women that reveal a broader archetypal picture of heroism; perhaps one that is becoming increasingly more relevant for the challenges of the 21st Century.
