Heather Shaner, a fierce, blue-haired defense attorney from D.C., has been championing those who can’t afford legal representation for over 40 years. However, after January 6th, 2021, when a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, her empathy was put to the ultimate test. Shaner was tasked with defending two nonviolent rioters: Jack Griffith, a social media influencer, and Annie Howell, a single mother and painter. According to Shaner, both were misled by misinformation instigating the attack, believing they were defending democracy. The documentary “Public Defender,” supported by the Pulitzer Center, delves into the fragile state of U.S. democracy and the people dedicated to safeguarding it. Watch as Shaner’s journey reveals how trust and understanding can bridge the political divide and uncover our shared humanity. A documentary by grantee Andrea Kalin and Spark Media. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dmFvp7eR
