Anna's passion project is The HELEN Movie, about Helen Schreider and her husband Frank who began traveling in the '50's in an amphibious jeep. Their first trip, recorded in their best selling book 20,000 Miles South, spanned from Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego (1954-1956). They continued traveling, writing and photographing for National Geographic through 1970, filming much of their adventures. Helen was sometimes banned from walking in the front door of the places where she spoke about her travels, and was not allowed to join the Explorers Club because she was a woman. In 2015 she was accepted into the Explorers Club at age 89 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyDjIPGW94Q&t=2s). Helen is an artist and a national treasure whose story needs to be told. www.TheHelenMovie.com

    Helen Schreider's story is finally being told. This amazing woman gave up a promising career (she'd just been hired by Edith Head!) to travel the world with her husband, eventually committing her life to exploring diverse cultures and lands for National Geographic. Constantly on the road from the time she was 22, in 1948, through 1970 when she was 44, Helen dedicated herself to capturing the people she met around the world on camera and canvas, foregoing motherhood to support her husband and his dreams. In the end, she made history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyDjIPGW94Q www.TheHelenMovie.com
