STORY4’s video series, “Sowing Change” debuts on The Women’s Foundation of California’s web site.

STORY4’s short documentary, “Sowing Change,” is featured by The Women’s Foundation of California. Shot in the Central Valley in March 2009 during a funders’ tour, the video tells the stories of women who are leading grass-roots organizations working to improve the health of those who live in California’s fastest growing - and most polluted - region.

“Working with STORY4 was inspiring. STORY4 simply got it. We are so proud of ‘Sowing Change’ and will be able to use the film to increase awareness and funding for leaders who are making their communities and our world safer and healthier.”

- Cathy Schreiber, Vice President of Development and Communications, The Women’s Foundation of California
