Abstract
“For the Need of Change” is a short documentary film about an organization by the name of DREAMers’ Moms. This new group is composed of novice leaders who have stepped out of the shadows, feeling empowered by their fellow members, and have actively joined the movement toward equality and justice in the immigrant community. These women from across the United States are sacrificing their personal time in an attempt to make positive changes in the lives of the more than eleven million undocumented immigrants living in this country. DREAMers’ Moms co-founder and president Alejandra Saucedo was interviewed about the foundation and trajectory of this year-old organization. Saucedo explains that what started out as a simple idea quickly evolved into something more than they could handle. It has not been easy, but this group of mothers has no limit and is not stopping anytime soon, because the need for change is greater than their fears.
