The Oak Project is a non-profit organization located in downtown Chattanooga, TN that helps single moms and their families deal with the struggles associated with living in the inner-city. This mini-documentary focuses on two women who were affected by the city's rash of gang violence this year, and how The Oak Project hopes to break the cycle of poverty and abuse in these communities.

Thanks to WRCB-TV for the archive news footage, and to Beth Burger at Times Free Press for her help in verifying the statistics on gang violence.
