A timely and compelling story of survival, Stories of Change presents portraits of four ethnically diverse women--Hispanic, Caucasian, Vietnamese and African-American--who surmount alcoholism, drug abuse, poverty, illiteracy and cultural barriers. Reaching deep inside themselves, these courageous women find self-confidence, dignity, and a renewed sense of purpose. Stories of Change gives hope and inspiration to all people facing difficult challenges in their lives.
Excellent! A powerful portrait of four women whose spirit of independence, self-worth and self-esteem refuses to be broken by racism, sexism and classism.

Powerful, poignant, intimate, healing...this film is a must for teachers, trainers, and those of us involved in gender, class and race issues.

A testament to the resilience and will of the human spirit, this film is another winning program from filmmaker Tollini, who explored incest in Breaking Silence.
