Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century - and she continues the fight to this day, at 87. With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother to eleven, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one's life to social change.

The reckoning has begun. Women have broken their silence and the world is finally listening. To have this moment be a transformative movement in American history, we examine the pain behind the anger, why it took so long for women to speak out, and the price women paid when they "Leaned In" and spoke up. Today we discuss how we move forward and dare to ask the questions others are afraid to ask.

The documentary film A Miracle A Day, is a portrayal of All Bengal Women's Union Welfare Home For Girls in Kolkata (Calcutta), India. The home is a progressive present-day example of the older institutions depicted in the highly acclaimed film "Lion", whose story also took place in Kolkata. It was founded in 1932 for women and girls to have a place of refuge from brothels, trafficking, poverty and abandonment. Today it is still thriving with residents ranging from one day old through their nineties. All Bengal Women's Union provides food, clothing, shelter, education and vocational training for 150 to 200 girls, young women, elderly and care for babies as well. The staff, many of whom are volunteers, show heartfelt and relentless dedication to helping every person become the best they can be. The film is an uplifting testament to the human spirit and it's capacity to surmount obstacles and transcend adversity.
