Summary:

Clarissa's Battle follows single mother and activist Clarissa Doutherd as she works tirelessly to build a powerful coalition. The coalition's goal is to make local, state, and national leaders understand a desperate need shared by families, parents, and children across the country, from low-income to middle. What these families need is simple on the surface: child care and early education funds. Enough to allow parents to continue to work. Enough to keep families off the streets. Enough to give their children a chance at a productive, successful future. This film documents the movement for child care access, but also the tenacity of a woman who experienced the shock of financial insecurity after the birth of her son, and her determination to stop it from happening to anyone else. It's about the struggle experienced by millions of families unseen and unspoken of by their communities. It is about what happens when a woman rises to grasp her power and says, "Enough."
