Krista sits down with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, who (alongside their production company HiddenLight) are executive producers on the upcoming documentary, In Her Hands. Filmed across two turbulent years, In Her Hands tells the story of Zarifa Ghafari, who at 26 became one of Afghanistan’s first female mayors and the youngest to ever hold the position. The film documents her fight for survival against the backdrop of her country’s accelerated unraveling.
The mother-daughter duo discuss the origin story and mission behind HiddenLight Productions, explain how they got involved with the documentary, and provide insight into the extraordinary access that directors Tamana Ayazi and Marcel Mettelsiefen were able to gain (including filming within the Taliban territory during production).
The pair also reflect on the films and series that impacted them early in life, dig into how they communicate and work as a team across their many projects, and share a few small wins they've been celebrating recently.
