This documentary provides a way to analyze citizen activism. Ask students to explain, based on what they have seen in the film, how Sabrina’s mother’s legal struggle succeeded. They should also be prepared to explain the various mechanisms whereby a citizen’s cause can be brought before elected officials. They can also explore other causes that people rally around, and suggest an action plan, as seen in the documentary.
