Overview

After escaping Nazi persecution, Sonia Pressman Fuentes found her purpose as a feminist activist. Anchored by a sit-down interview with Fuentes and a personal archive detailing her beginnings in Berlin, her childhood in the Catskills and Miami, her legal career and lifelong commitment to equality, the film weaves together her remarkable life. As she faces her final chapter at age 96, Fuentes reflects on her history, her mortality and her determination to be remembered.
