Explore the life and legacy of Kentucky-born author bell hooks, who wrote nearly 40 books and whose work on race, gender, class, and love helped redefine the feminist movement, making it more universal for all. The documentary features selections read by Academy Award-winner Octavia Spencer and interviews with feminist activist Gloria Steinem, writers Crystal Wilkinson and Silas House, bell's younger sister Gwenda Motley, and many others.
