The world needs more change-makers. And I believe telling the stories of people who defy the odds and march forward will inspire others to do the same.

HiddenLight's first project will be an @AppleTV adaptation of "Gutsy Women," the book Chelsea and I wrote to chronicle the lives of trailblazing women whose stories deserve to be more widely shared. More to come soon. pic.twitter.com/NiK5yiQJCw — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) December 3, 2020
