What People Are Saying About Defining Moments
"I think people always respond well to “quality”……things they know to be true and good. I salute you for producing such a wonderful tribute to an amazing leader."
Harry Rhoads, Co-founder, Washington Speakers Bureau
"I think this was one of the best documentaries I've seen. I'm ashamed to admit that I did not know about Mrs. Frances until today, but to know that she created a circular form of leadership, redefined the Girl Scouts, and her authenticity was amazing to see. She is a true inspiration to follow and I'm grateful I was able to learn her story."
