She set out to make a film about the dressmaker, an African-American seamstress who had recently passed away. The dresses and much of the film footage were later flood-damaged by Hurricane Katrina while Helen was still working on the film. Helen was murdered in a home invasion in New Orleans in 2007. Her husband Paul Gailiunas has completed the film, which includes Helen’s original silhouette, cut-out, and puppet animation, as well as flood-damaged and restored home movies.

Since 1985, over 50,000 abortions have been performed at The Northern Illinois Women’s Center, (N.I.W.C.), in Rockford, Illinois. Every day that the N.I.W.C. has been open, pro-life activists have come to protest, pray, and offer alternatives to the pregnant women entering the facility. This emotional documentary takes a look into the pro-life presence in Rockford, who they are, what they do, and some of the struggles they continually endure while standing up for the unborn.
