Heather Booth: Changing the World


Heather Booth may be the most influential person you’ve never heard of. A politically conscious college student who began her career in 1964 registering voters in Mississippi at the height of the Civil Rights movement, Booth became the go-to strategist for causes ranging from child care to women’s rights to immigration reform, and advisor to leaders including Julian Bond and Senator Elizabeth Warren. At a time when many are wondering how to make their voices heard and when civil and women’s rights are under attack, this empowering documentary is an inspiring look at how to make social change.
