"If I Could" is a compelling documentary film that shows one family's attempt to escape the long-term effects of trauma after decades of abuse, abandonment, drugs and rage.

This film has generated audience acclaim and critical praise and won numerous prestigous awards. It is narrated by actress Sally Field.

The story of a struggling single mother, "If I Could" addresses some of the most troubling issues facing American families today. As one of the main characters says, "Families destroy themselves, so families have to heal themselves."

The film originated in 1979 when a three-time Emmy award-winning director filmed "The Wagon Train Trial" for CBS Reports. It followed the stories of four teenagers sent to an alternative program for juveniles, instead of jail.

Now, twenty years later, she returns to chronicle the ongoing story of Tracy, a young woman who is facing the ghosts of her troubled past as she fights to keep her son from falling prey to the same demons that almost destroyed her.
