Award-winning filmmaker, philanthropist, and social activist Dr. Abigail Disney joins host Sabrina Cartan to discuss the latest Fandom Forward campaign, Be A Hero, inspired by her latest film on the labor movement at Disney Parks. The two explore the magic of Disney fandom, how Disney fans are uniquely positioned to engage in shareholder activism, and what Bob Iger and his colleagues fail to understand about entertainment consumers in 2023. Abigail shares what the Disney brand and characters mean to her as a granddaughter of Roy Disney and grandniece of Walt Disney, plus how Lynda Carter's iconic portrayal of Wonder Woman empowered her as a tomboyish girl growing up in the 1970s.
