Before America declared its independence, extraordinary women were already risking everything for its freedom.

As the nation prepares to commemorate America250, Defiant Ones brings to life the stories of eight remarkable heroines through an immersive cinematic audio drama. From Abigail Adams’s call to "remember the ladies" to the mysterious Agent 355's secret missions to secure liberty, each episode reveals the courage, faith, and sacrifice of the wives, mothers, poets, warriors, and spies who helped birth a nation.

Featuring immersive sound design and an original orchestral score, Defiant Ones invites listeners to experience the American Revolution like never before.
