Description

This video features storytelling created by young mothers who have experienced homelessness.  The photographic images they created led to a Toronto-wide tour of their work and to a public declaration of their rights and needs.  In a project called Street Health Stories, the women documented the lives of several homeless people.  This DVD includes the team's film Unexpected, a video dialogue between homeless mothers and healthcare professionals who deliver babies.
