~ We are women of the world, come from poverty, illiteracy, circumcision, shame ~ We are telling our stories and sharing our lives ~ So that never again can the truth be denied ~ We've untied our tongues and we're speaking out loud ~ We've unbound our feet and we're marching toward freedom ~ We are teaching each other and claiming our power ~ Together, we're building a better tomorrow ~ Sweet Honey In The Rock

MOVIE: "Frozen River"
You are reading http://viridianariverstone.blogspot.com/.
Under the same circumstances, I'd do it, too.
More, not less, non formula scripts. More stories of ordinary women doing extraordinary things.
I'm living in a single wide with broken windows, holes in the floor, missing skirting, no propane, no running water and no sewage. The landlord gets $150/month. He won't fix it and I can't move.
Spent all winter with no heat. Made a composting toilet. Patched the windows with pieces of broken glass, glued with clear silicone.
I'd do it in a fast minute.
But I have no car and live five miles from town.
I hitch hike.
But I have no kids. I would't do it just for me.
More movies about single mothers.
More movies about poverty, REAL poverty.
More movies about justice.
More movies about refusing to be a victim.
