Children of the Underground (2022)

Directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite & Ted Gesing

Produced by Dan Cogan, Liz Garbus, Jon Bardin, Kate Barry, Julie Gaither

Children of the Underground tells the true story of charismatic vigilante Faye Yager, who built a vast underground network that hid hundreds of mothers and children, saving them from the alleged abuse of husbands and fathers when a broken court system would not. When she helped the ex-wife and children of the wealthy banker who pioneered the ATM disappear, Yager finally met her match and a loud public reckoning was at hand.
