Filmmaker Shari Rigby explains how Defiant Ones came together: an anthology about the bravest women of the American Revolution, framed by the real letters between Abigail and John Adams. As John headed to the Continental Congress to work on the Declaration of Independence, Abigail wrote to him with a plea that gives the series its heart, "remember the ladies." Each episode is dedicated to one woman, and the series was written, voiced, and produced by women.
In this clip:
• How the Defiant Ones anthology was built
• The Abigail and John Adams letters that frame the series
• Patriots, poets, prophets, and spies, one woman per episode
Defiant Ones launches July 2 on the Washington Times and all podcast platforms, with family assets at beautifullyflawedproductions.com. Learn more at jennybethshow.com and teapartypatriots.org.
