Carolyn Parker is quite a piece of work: vivacious, funny, succinct. There's lots of hope in this story amid the dreary circumstances in which they lived and it's particularly uplifting watching her surmount every indomitable odd thrown her way, trying to rebuild her home while lifting the spirits of the people closest to her. Demme could've shown us more footage, perhaps of the people she might have inspired along the way, but still a nice documentary about the triumph of human spirit.
