Artist Statement: 

I am hopeful because of the non-profit organization started in 1971 by my great-grandfather Kirby Potter and his brother, Rhett, to serve those who are mentally ill and homeless. This organization is called PAAG. I can volunteer there often because my grandma Neely works there. Because I am there a lot, I always see the many ways the clients are helped. I chose to make a documentary about PAAG because my family started it and not everyone knows about the important work they are doing for the homeless and mentally ill.
