Also at the event, a film screening of the documentary film Strong! will be offered. Strong! is about Cheryl Haworth's struggle to defend her champion status as her lifetime weightlifting career inches towards its inevitable end. Strong! chronicles her journey and the challenges this unusual elite athlete faces, exploring popular notions of power, strength, beauty, and health. Go to www.itvs.org for more information.

The panel discussion and film screening will promote KUED's Women and Girls Lead Initiative—an innovative public media campaign designed to celebrate, educate, and activate women, girls, and their allies across the globe to address the challenges of the 21st century. Women and Girls Lead is a strategic media campaign to support and sustain a growing movement to empower them, their communities, and future generations. Women and Girls Lead selects and supports powerful independent documentaries and other content on women and girl leaders.
