Yes, New Yorker Donna Zaccaro is proudly the daughter of Geraldine Ferraro, who ran for U.S. Vice President in 1984 as Walter Mondale’s running mate -- the first female vice presidential candidate representing a major American political party.
And she is so much more.

Formerly a long-time award-winning producer for the “Today” show at NBC News, Donna has also worked in politics, public affairs marketing and communications, and investment banking and she founded and serves as President of New York-based media production companies Dazzling Media and nonprofit Ferrodonna Features, Inc., the mission of which is to produce films about women, women’s issues, and social justice. Among her projects, she has directed and produced the full-length feature documentaries: Geraldine Ferraro: Paving the Way (2014) and To a More Perfect Union: U.S. v Windsor (2017).

Appropriately for Women’s History Month, with Geraldine Ferraro: Paving the Way, Donna created a film to keep her mother's legacy alive for future generations.
To a More Perfect Union: U.S. v Windsor memorializes another life, Edie Windsor’s, and her fight for marriage equality alongside her attorney Roberta Kaplan. “Made by a New York woman, about New York women who made history, it is riveting, impactful, and not to be missed” says Brette McSweeney, the Executive Director of The Eleanor Roosevelt Legacy Committee.
