My residency at HB Studio for the month of October evolved into  a SAG/AFTRA documentary, and we are asking for help  finish it. 

​

We believe this documentary can do more than tell a story. It can show the power that live theatre has to promote therapeutic communication between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Thereby building a bridge of understanding, forgiveness, and community.

​

A Mother’s Heart is the story about the relationships between two single-parent mothers and their sons. One son is an eighteen-year-old high school senior, and the other is a young NYC police officer. Their lives collide and are forever altered at a traffic stop that turns deadly. This story explores violence, death, consequences, forgiveness, and restorative justice.

​

The documentary is intended to promote having A Mother’s Heart performed in schools and theaters around the country as a way to facilitate hard conversations about civil, social, and restorative justice. Just as importantly, we hope it can advocate for programs like To Protect Serve and Understand, which bring police officers together with people from the communities they serve to foster understanding and unity between them. https://www.irondale.org/tpsu

Your support continued support will go directly toward the real production costs needed to make this documentary possible.

If this vision speaks to you, we would be incredibly grateful for your support. Every donation helps us turn this opportunity at HB Studio into a finished documentary that has unlimited potential to open hearts, encourage dialogue, heal communities and bring people together.
