Help us tell their story

Defending Democracy offers a multi media platform for telling the powerful, historic and often unsung stories of our women in the military. Though each woman’s voice is unique, they have in common the willingness to give their lives to protect us, our country and our Constitution.

By airing their stories, our mission is to create understanding and help to repair the broken relationship between our military and civilian communities, to inspire our capable youth to consider serving and to awaken the personal responsibility that comes with freedom. For Defending Democracy to be successful, we need to raise funds.

Whether you are family or friends or a fellow citizen,  a donation to Defending Democracy is a meaningful way to say, “Thank you for your service.”

For us, being “in development” means pairing  “Ken Burns-style” research  with “Lisa Ling-style” investigative reporting. The result… a topical and timely “must watch”  experience.

We are committed to an all-female, all-veteran production crew.
