WRITING FOR MY MOTHER is a feature-length documentary that examines the declining literacy rates in the United States. Director Natalie Pattillo—whose mother faces literacy challenges—is uplifting the heartfelt and timely stories of adult learners and their children, as well as the advocates fighting for the citizenry’s right to read, write, and vote.
At a time when our country’s democracy is gravely at risk, WRITING FOR MY MOTHER shows the intergenerational and collective power we all have to fight for our dreams and overcome barriers to civic participation.
