Turning the Page: The Story of Next Chapter explores how local nonprofit Next Chapter is tackling the issue of homelessness in greater Pierce County, Washington. Co-founders Monique Patterson and Kathryn Hedrick, as well as Next Chapter clients, share their stories of resilience, hard work and community in their journey to house single mothers and their families.

The film project was directed and produced by students Emily Groseclose, Ben Leschensky, Brennan LaBrie, Seley Nemish, Hallie Harper and Raven Lirio. PLU Communication Department faculty member Dr. Kate Hoyt is the documentary advisor for the team and directs MediaLab.
