With unique access to a sitting member of Congress, TRUTH TO POWER: BARBARA LEE SPEAKS FOR ME tells the complex story of Oakland, California Representative 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 the U.S. House of Representatives in opposition to the broad authorization of military force following the September 11th attacks. Lee is truly an inspirational human, as everyone from Cory Booker to Alice Walker attest, and TRUTH TO POWER is comparably inspirational as it follows Lee, as she speaks for those whose voices are not usually heard.
