Filmmaker Adrienne Gruben (“Treasure Island,” “You’re Gonna Miss Me”) brings the groundbreaking story of Lily Renée to life with candid interviews, riveting archival footage, and newly commissioned illustrations. Ms. Gruben chronicles Lily’s heroic journey from Nazi-controlled Austria to New York’s Golden Age of comics. Born into an affluent Jewish family in Vienna in 1921, Lily started drawing from an early age. In 1938, during the Nazi occupation of her home country, she boarded a Kindertransport for England, leaving her parents behind. She worked for two years as a nanny, servant and mother’s helper, before reuniting with her parents in New York. Taking up art again, she would eventually land a job at Fiction House, where her creative contributions were a foundational influence on American entertainment, and paved the way for generations of women to come.

In reality, the vast majority of Americans agree on basic reforms to outlaw the wanton political corruption from both parties, but politicians won't pass them. Unrepresented reveals the opportunities and challenges as committed public servants, non-partisan activists, and everyday Americans build unprecedented movements to fix the broken system before it's too late.
