High-profile speakers from all walks of life converge to tell their stories and share their plans of action during various panels, including “Story Power,” a conversation between Streep, DuVernay and Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy moderated by Stewart, and “The Ladykiller,” a conversation between Barbra Streisand and Dr. Holly Andersen about inequity in heart disease research for women.
