New Doc: Running in High Heels

Running in High Heels is about WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP and now is the time to discuss women assuming greater leadership. With Nancy Pelosi assuming the role of Speaker of the House, Oprah Winfrey dedicating her biggest philanthropic effort to an academy for women's leadership and Hillary Clinton in full pursuit of the White House, 2007 is the time for women and leadership. Women today realize the 21st century is about women having their share of access to power, to money and to government. The only question is how quickly this access can come, what stands in women's way and what can be done about it.
