Welcome to Flashback Friday! With 700+ episodes in our archive, we're excited to revisit some of our favorites with y'all!This week, we are flashing back to EP686, when we brought back a couple of our favorite filmmakers Julie Cohen & Betsy West,  as they discuss their latest documentary "Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down . The film recently premiered on CNN, and is available on the CNN, and can be found On Demand on various cable channels and the CNN apps. Original Show Notes NotesIt's our fourth time speaking with a couple of our favorite documentarians (RBG, My Name is Pauli Murray, Julia) - Julie Cohen and Betsy West about they're latest film, Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down which does not disappoint.  Former congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot in the face in 2011 at an in-person constituent event in a supermarket parking lot. She was severely injured and, at first, it was reported that she died from her injuries. The film Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down takes you on a journey of Gabby's life from her humble beginnings, through her incredibly painful and heartbreaking recovery (shout out to her husband, former astronaut,  and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly for being the ultimate caregiver!)  to her fighting for stricter gun laws through her non-profit Giffords. We spoke with Julie and Betsy about this incredibly timely film and about how they were able to land (spoiler!) President Barack Obama, Gabby Giffords gift of music knowledge, a special surprise that was found in the Kelly/Giffords freezer, how important music therapy was for Gabby's recovery, and so much more. A big thank you to Julie and Betsy for loving what we do and always saying yes to having a conversation with us. <3Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down will be in theaters this Friday, July 15.
