Once secure... Michele Ohayon's award-winning documentary IT WAS A WONDERFUL LIFE examines the plight of America's hidden population of homeless women through the personal accounts of six individuals. Once secure in jobs and marriages, these women now live in cars or cheap motels and eke out a daily existence fraught with struggle and hardship. Underscored by somber narration from Jodie Foster and a haunting score by Melissa Etheridge, the women's powerful stories reveal the human tragedy of homelessness with fresh honesty and insight.
