ABOUT THE FILM-
In 2001, LPB offered a call for emerging producers to create a one minute interstitial that showcased or represented the Latino community for general audiences. Ten projects were selected ranging from animation to biographies. Many of these producers have moved forward in their careers and are NOW producing nationally for public and commercial television. In 2009, the interstitials are now offered online.
The Director tells success stories of four women who were once teen mothers, including the producer/director’s story as she was also a young mother. It provides a more optimistic view to the future of a teenage mother and to encourage these women to not give up on their dreams.
