IRON BUTTERFLY DOCUMENTARY

WE ARE PRODUCING AND DIRECTING THE FIRST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE FILM ABOUT THE WOMEN WHO HAVE WRITTEN HISTORY FROM THE SHADOWS

Documentary Premise:

 In the interconnected tapestry of our world, a certain perfection exists, binding everything together. Yet, during this historical inflection point, we see our world fraying. The practice of understanding this fracture is at the core of the intelligence profession.

The potential to mend and transform the world as we enter a new age resides within each individual—the butterfly effect in action. The stories of women in the intelligence community are evidence of that power, and this film shows how women can shape systems and influence the course of history on the individual, organizational, and global level.

Our documentary represents a diverse selection of the most respected and accomplished women across the intelligence community, whose stories have never before been told
