Other programs premiering from the Women and Girls Lead catalog this coming year include Mona Eldaief and Jehane Noujaim's Solar Mamas (November 2012), which chronicles India's Barefoot College and its mission to provide rural women living in poverty with an education that empowers them to make their communities self-reliant and sustainable, and is part of an international multiplatform series including eight films that are part of a global debate, asking the question, WHY POVERTY?; Kirby Dick's The Invisible War (May 2013) reveals one of America's most shameful and best-kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within the U.S. military; and Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines (March 2013), Kristy Guevara-Flanagan's film tracing the fascinating evolution and legacy of Wonder Woman — going behind the scenes with Lynda Carter, Lindsay Wagner, comic writers and artists, and feminist figures such as Gloria Steinem, Kathleen Hanna, and others, who offer a counterpoint to the male-dominated superhero genre. Broadcasting in Spring of 2013 is Nicole Newnham and Maren Grainger-Monsen's Revolutionary Optimists, which follows Amlan Ganguly, a lawyer-turned-social entrepreneur, as he sows hope in the poorest neighborhoods of Calcutta by empowering children to become leaders in improving health, health, transforming their communities for the better; and Kind Hearted Woman, acclaimed filmmaker David Sutherland's (The Farmer's Wife, Country Boys) portrait of a Native American woman who struggles between saving her family and risking it all to help her Indian community and abused women.
