What is Little People Big Dreams - Josephine Baker about?
Josephine Baker loved to dance from the moment she could move. Growing up in segregated St Louis, she faced unfair treatment but refused to give up on her dreams. She travelled to Paris, where her dazzling performances made her famous. Yet Josephine was much more than an entertainer: she became an actor, a spy during the Second World War and a powerful campaigner against racism. With courage, energy and determination, she used her voice to stand up for equality and inspire people around the world.
