A remarkable sequel to the 1966 documentary The Things I Cannot Change, which, by focusing on the Bailey family of Montréal, provided an anatomy of poverty in North America. Courage to Change explores what has happened to the Baileys in the intervening eighteen years. A useful discussion-starter for education, community groups and health and social-work professionals.
