Frances Hesselbein

Inspiring generations with her battle cry “To Serve Is to Live,” Defining Moments tells the story of legendary leader Frances Hesselbein who started living her purpose “respect for all people” at just 8 years old. From a tiny coal mining town in the mountains of rural Western Pennsylvania, Frances rose through the Girl Scouts against all odds to fight for equality. Uncompromising in her purpose and genuinely standing in the truth, she paved a path for us to follow, opening doors that had previously been closed. Recognized by President Clinton with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work as a “pioneer for women, volunteerism, diversity, and opportunity,” her influence has grown over the decades to impact millions and millions of people, invigorating and inspiring each and every one of us to reach our highest potential. The story of this remarkable woman, is brought to you by producers Sarah McArthur and Beverly Jacobson-Schler.

Into the Light/Hacía la Luz - Seeking Distribution

A documentary about change, uncertainty, and transformation. In early 2020, seemingly overnight, thousands if not millions of us have become modern day exiles. Albeit not political, lives have changed, some permanently due to an unseen menace. The story of Cuban exile artist Rafael Soriano, is more poignant today than it was over fifty years ago.  Soriano made the best of his new beginnings in this country, and can serve as a role model for those of us, possibly unsure, of what the future holds.
