Description

Granny D: The Power of One chronicles the 1998 cross-country walk, at age 89, by Doris ‘Granny D’ Haddock, a lifelong New Hampshire activist, from Santa Monica, California to Washington, D.C. in an effort to draw attention to the need for campaign finance reform and her contention that money in politics had betrayed our representative democracy.  The trek included crossing more than 1,000 miles of desert, climbing the Appalachian Range in blizzard conditions, and even skiing 100 miles after an historic snowfall made roadside walking impossible.
