theory of change

Rural North Carolinians know how to survive. Nicole, Dolly, and Shikara are done just surviving, they're building the power to demand more.

Through a vérité lens, Theory of Change follows nicole, Dolly and Shikara as they organize alongside Down Home NC, knocking on doors, running mutual aid and showing up to the rooms where decisions get made.

All three are up against the same impossible question: can you do this work when you are working class, when you are stretched thin, when the system was never built to catch you?
