What’s a secret life? The secret struggle. The effort necessary to succeed that nobody sees-- talent, courage & determination. It's true what you hear about redheads. Hot temper. The get attention. They get ridiculed. Good in bed. But most of all-- everyone agrees they stand out from the pack. Some women think it’s a handicap, some think it’s a blessing. Some want to dye their hair to escape the stigma, while other women want to dye their hair to "ginger" color. They are the 2%.

Ginger Girls: The Secret Lives of Redheads, focuses on the lives of eight unique women. Through Anastasio's lens we meet a veteran model, a Shakespearean actor, a singer, a girl with learning disabilities, women CEO's, and more. Will they embrace their image and live with the
stereotypes-- or try to break the mold?
