The Doc Project's Julia Pagel is in Washington, D.C. for the Women's March on Washington. She's travelled there with a group from Pennsylvania that includes her aunt, Anne Jackson.

Anne Jackson and Peggy Hartzell have been activists their whole lives, starting back in the '70s with anti-Vietnam War marches. In Julia's documentary, Why We March, hear stories of protest from the old days, join them at the Women's March on Washington, and learn, why, after all these years — they're still marching.
