Today we’re getting under the hood with Shannon Cohn a mother, daughter, friend, women’s advocate, lawyer, social impact producer and filmmaker.

Her films and TV series have aired on @PBS, Nat Geo, Discovery Channel, Amazon and Netflix.

Her previous film ENDO WHAT? was called "the first step in a plan for change" by NEWSWEEK and "film of the year" by THE GUARDIAN.
Before becoming a filmmaker, Shannon practiced international law and was part of the legal team that prosecuted Enron in the largest white-collar crime investigation in FBI history. She has endometriosis and has two young daughters who have a 7x increased risk of having the disease.
