The Center for Great Expectations is pleased to present a full-length documentary which captures the lives of several women who overcame insurmountable odds in their quest to build a better life for themselves and their children. Their experience as addicts, the dark places it took them, how it impacted their children and their journeys toward health and wellness are masterfully depicted in the film.
