Your Mother Should Know

by Peg Campbell

Your Mother Should Know is a deeply personal narrative documentary, exploring the hopes and fears between mother and daughters

Using archival family footage and current interviews, Campbell weaves an evocative tapestry of three generations of women.  As the director states, “My mother said I came out fighting–with her. She died saying I had always been a joy to her, which was quite a sur-prise to me. My mother couldn’t protect me from experiencing the dangers of the world but I want to protect my daughter. Lucky for me she’s a more sensible girl.”

The film is being distributed by Moving Images Distribution.
