Director Amma Asante Discusses Hulu Series "Mrs. America"
A new Hulu mini series called “Mrs. America” examines the controversial 1970s anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly, who was determined to defeat the equal rights amendment. Amma Asante directed two episodes of the series. She joins Christiane to discuss the feminist movement and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's electrifying floor speech lambasting what she calls a “faux apology” by Rep. Ted Yoho.
