Resilience is an intimate documentary that confronts long-held stereotypes by stepping inside the lives of Nancy, Simone and Gloria. With honesty, intelligence and humour, these three women reflect on balancing single parenthood, working life, relationships and the fulfilment of their own goals, all within a society that can be harshly judgmental.

Resilience offers a deeper understanding of the challenges, practical strategies and dreams of these women and, indeed, many black single mothers in Canada. The documentary bears witness to their strengths, complexities and determination as they build rewarding lives for themselves and their families. It also serves as a wake-up call to young people who may be facing single parenthood.
