My Take
Abigail Disney commands my respect for refusing the comfort her name could have guaranteed. Born into the Disney dynasty in 1960, she became a documentary producer and activist who turns the camera toward war, inequality, and the very privilege she was born into. Her film Pray the Devil Back to Hell, chronicling Liberian women who forced a peace, shows where her instincts lie. Stanford-educated and a committed philanthropist, she has the rare courage to interrogate her own inheritance rather than simply enjoy it. To question the system that made you is the hardest thing of all, and she does it openly.
