Paycheck to Paycheck

Did you know that 42 million women in America -- one in three -- are living in poverty or teetering on its brink?  More than 13 million are mothers of young children.  Maria Shriver, in conjunction with HBO, presents "Paycheck to Paycheck: The Life and Times of Katrina Gilbert." From the website: "This film offers a deeply personal, unvarnished and moving story of Katrina Gilbert, a single mom of three, struggling to get ahead but constantly getting knocked back by a system that almost seems designed to see her fail."

The film, a little over an hour long, can be viewed this week for free (and on HBO during the rest of March).  You are encouraged to read the screening guide and start a conversation.  Click here to access the site and the video.
