Ashley Judd is best known as an acclaimed actress, but these days she is more likely to be found wading through an African refugee camp or Asian brothel than on a film set. For most of the past decade, Judd has been visiting human rights hotspots around the world to spread the word of hope, health, and gender equality on behalf of one of the leading public health nonprofits, PSI/YouthAIDS. Judd also describes her own personal spiritual journey of discovery that takes place during the interludes between her trips overseas. Through being of service to others, she unlocks the door to her own unsettled past, including an abusive childhood, and later on, her issues with co-dependency and depression.
