Ep 535- Director Jackie Jesko Talks "Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything" Coming To Hulu!

Barbara Walters, she didn’t just report the news, she made news. She was a true American original - and trailblazer who broke ground for women. Now, this powerful documentary from Imagine Documentaries and ABC News Studios gives viewers an intimate and raw look at her astonishing career, personal life, and the challenges she faced trying to balance it all as a woman in a male dominated industry. Barbara Walters, in her own words, also reflects on the high price of fame and the legacy she hoped to inspire. The new feature-length documentary produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Documentaries, will premiere Monday, June 23, on Hulu in the U.S. and later this year on Disney+ in select territories internationally. From the producing team behind the 2024 Emmy® Award-winning Best Documentary, “Jim Henson Idea Man,” this definitive documentary, directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker and journalist Jackie Jesko, examines the broadcast legend’s pivotal role in the history of journalism and her pioneering example for women in the industry. The film features unaired footage from ABC’s extensive archives and interviews with people who knew and worked with the broadcast legend, including Cindy Adams, Joy Behar, Connie Chung, Martin Clancy, Andy Cohen, Katie Couric, Peter Gethers, Lori Klein, Cynthia McFadden, Bette Midler, Victor Neufeld, David Sloan, Katie Nelson Thomson, Chris Vlasto and Oprah Winfrey. Director Jackie Jesko joins us to tell us all about the legend that is Barbara and how this came to be!
