Audience Award Winner at **Hot Docs Documentary Festival**. Winner of the Audience Award for Documentary at the **Mill Valley Film Festival**. Nominated for the Gamechanger Award at the **SXSW Film Festival**. *"Even as she recalls career setbacks and personal disappointments, Staples displays rock-solid faith, unwavering confidence, and bubbly optimism." - Serena Donadoni, **The Village Voice***
