  <description>Tina and Hillary cover violence against female politicians and fragging during the Vietnam War.
Tina’s Story
Women have been making strides in the political arena. BUT once elected, they often face threats and violence often as an attempt to silence their voices. 
Hillary’s Story
The Vietnam War saw a massive amount of casualties. BUT things take a darker turn when soldiers attack and kill one another.
