Quote:
"As the En tant que femmes program indicates, women are playing an increasingly active role in filmmaking at the Film Board, increased activity that extends beyond this one Société Nouvelle-based program. Within the English-language Challenge for Change, Kathleen Shannon is presently involved in completing the last four in her group of 12 films collectively called, Working Mothers. Eight of the films have been completed; all are in colour and range in length from seven to fifteen minutes. Each film deals with a working mother in a different life situation: from university professor in Tiger on a Tight Leash, and nurse in Luckily I Need Little Sleep, to a mother on welfare in Would I Ever Like to Work; from the mother of a nuclear family in They Appreciate You More, to members of a commune in Extensions of the Family."
