As America approaches its 250th anniversary, there’s a side of the Revolutionary War that many people have never heard.

In this conversation, actress, filmmaker, and producer Shari Rigby shares the heart behind “Defiant Ones,” a cinematic audio drama that tells the remarkable true stories of the women whose faith, courage, sacrifice, and determination helped shape the birth of the United States.

From spies and poets to mothers, daughters, and patriots, these women risked everything for a cause greater than themselves. Ms. Rigby explains why their stories have been overlooked for so long, why they matter today, and how “Defiant Ones” aims to inspire a new generation by bringing history to life through immersive storytelling and an all-star voice cast.



If you love American history, stories of faith, and inspiring conversations about courage under pressure, you won’t want to miss this interview.
