Yes. I remember my mom standing up for herself whenever she felt discriminated against as a divorced woman. She got her bachelor's when I was in elementary school and then a law degree. She always had a strong sense of justice and she loved to help clients she thought were being treated unfairly.

“The Insider” (1999) holds up as both as surveillance drama and scathing critique of corporate journalism. Hopefully Wired doesn’t fold like Wallace and Hewitt. (better Michael Mann film than “Heat” imo)
