About the Series
Stories from survival to transformation
These documentaries tell the story of students who have struggled with unstable housing, poverty, and other obstacles—and who are redefining what success means because of their communities, support systems, and grit. Each documentary tells its own story of survival and transformation, all linked together by the Passport to Change movement.
Watch the Series
A premiere and virtual screening for Episode One is coming up soon.
