Greta Gerwig on "Little Women" | Amanpour and Company

In 2018, Greta Gerwig became the fifth woman ever to be shortlisted in the Best Director category at the Academy Awards, for her movie "Lady Bird". It was an ode to mother-daughter relationships, and she continues her exploration of strong female characters with an adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott classic, "Little Women". It's the inspiring story of four sisters as they come of age in the aftermath of America's civil war, and is a project Gerwig fought to write and direct. Originally aired on December 19, 2019. ...............................................................................................................................
