Filmed over 99 days in six countries, this mother and daughter film making team interviewed 11 "people who are making a positive change in our world." It is an inspiring story about the power of one person to make change in their part of the world.

Two of the interviews include Maureen Taylor and Marian Kramer from MWRO -- Detroit-based welfare rights activists who fight for the dignity and rights of poor and low-income people in Michigan and beyond.

This FREE screening will be held:
When: Thursday, July 21, 2011 at 6pm
