Defining Moments is a feature-length documentary based upon the groundbreaking life’s work and leadership of Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient Frances Hesselbein, a “pioneer for women, volunteerism, diversity, and opportunity” to be created on behalf of all of us by Defining Moments LLC in association with Schler Productions LLC.

"Today in the seemingly divided world we live in, when trust may be a low point and cynicism rampant, the call for leaders who are healing unifiers must come forth to be heard. Wherever we are, whatever our vocations, whatever our platforms or labor; we must find the language that heals, the inclusion that unifies. It is a critical time for leaders at every level to make a difference. And we each can be called to lead no matter who we are."

Frances Hesselbein, Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient,

Former CEO Girl Scouts
