This Film Matters. It is hard to believe that this story has not been told on screen yet, but the time is now.
This film will shine a light on the lives that exist in the cracks and shadows of our country. A journey that exists in the dead of night. Their stories rarely make the front page, let alone carry a film, but they are the backbones of their communities.
Our story follows these women as they lug suitcases and small children, as they contort their bodies into tight spaces for hours, as they make the long bleak journey week after week, fighting against all odds to keep their families together.
A story that illuminates the power of community and shared experience to empower, heal and inspire. A story that shows us how trauma can become the greatest unifier of all and how vital friendships are forged in the most unlikely places. A story of how this community of women, despite unimaginable hardship and
heartache, women push forward against all odds, hold each other up and find something to celebrate at the end of every week
Our goal is to tell this story using top notch New York City based theater and film actors who will be able to slip into this world and bring these women to life. This is their story. We plan to tell this story with an all-female cast and crew.
