In 2006, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf was inaugurated President of Liberia, the first freely elected female head of state in Africa.  Go behind the scenes as Sirleaf faces the daunting task of lifting her country from debt and devastation.  She turns to a remarkable team of women, appointing them in positions such as police chief, finance minister, minister of justice, commerce minister and minister of gender, and the viewer is treated to a joyous, inspirational testimony of the political power of women’s leadership and diplomacy.

Laura Young, Staff Attorney with Special Projects at The Advocates, and Harriette Badio, attorney and leader in the Liberian Diaspora community, will host the discussion after the film.
