Told They Can't | Documentary Short Film Official Site
The inspiring story of ten high-profile professionals who overcame hunger, poverty, abuse to become doctors, medical professors, educators, engineers, and members of the U.S. Congress.

Today they are engineers, doctors, medical professors, educators, authors, research scientists and leaders elected to government office.
What they have accomplished, in defiance of all odds and adversity, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Their stories, of turning poverty and hopelessness into personal and professional success, reminds audiences that anything is indeed possible, not only for the select few, but all.
