Sonia Pressman Fuentes’ life was saved multiple times before she turned six. She grew up knowing that she wanted to lead a life with purpose, but it wasn’t until she was in her late 30s, while working to uphold the Civil Rights Act, that she discovered her calling. With the passion of a convert, Sonia was reborn as a feminist activist.

This captivating, character-driven documentary explores the life of a pioneering feminist, attorney, and co-founder of the National Organization for Women (NOW). Anchored by a sit-down interview from Sonia’s apartment in Sarasota, Florida, and a personal archive, which includes evocative imagery detailing her beginnings in Berlin and escape from the Nazis, her childhood in the Catskills, her education and legal career and lifelong commitment to equality, the film weaves together Sonia’s remarkable life. As she reflects on her history and her contribution she wonders whether she will be remembered.
