Street Sisters

http://streetsisters.ca Nine aboriginal women have agreed to tell their stories, without restriction, to a television audience. For most of the women, this project will be a legacy they can leave their children. They don't want their children to end up where they have, and they want their children's understanding and forgiveness. While this film focuses on women in the midst of poverty, addiction and homelessness, it will consistently invert stereotypes, revealing these women to be exactly as they are: terribly wounded, in the fierce grip of addiction, but also courageous, unique, valuable, interesting, insightful, intelligent, humourous and resilient.
