SEASON OF HOPE is a film about young mothers struggling to
recover from the catastrophe of drug addiction. Told through
a series of compelling interviews, it is about women helping
other women face their addictions and the promise of recovery.
SEASON OF HOPE shows us that addicted women are victims of a
terrible disease who have a great deal in common with all mothers:
they love their children and desperately want to be nurturing
parents. By offering a rarely-seen world steeped in myth and
media hype, SEASON OF HOPE is an encouraging resource for
women's counseling and guidance groups, health education, drug
and alcohol rehabilitation, schools, churches and other community
organizations.
