More about Big Mama
2000 Academy Award Winner for Best Documentary Short (35 minutes), Big Mama depicts a devoted 89-year-old grandmother's struggle to raise her orphaned grandson under the watchful eyes of a complex social welfare system in South Central Los Angeles.
Founder and President of the Children's Defense Fund, Marian Wright Edelman raves, "Big Mama is a powerful film that brings to life the spirit and moral force of the millions of grandparents and other kin raising so many of our nation's children."
