At its essence, this docu-drama highlights the critical role of education as the foundation for achieving equity. Inspired by the true story of the first four African American nurses to graduate from the Provident Hospital Training School of Nurses in Chicago, IL., the film seeks to empower with a deeper understanding of nursing history.

It sparks a broader dialogue about the intersection of history with today's challenges in nursing and medicine, while also elevating awareness of Black literacy and the contributions of nurses and doctors of color. Research indicates that health disparities are growing due to limited access and insufficient Black representation. This film underscores how our historical narratives can enhance our efforts in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

With a lyrical nod to historical period pieces, we present four women who played a pivotal role in nursing knowledge and demonstrate why this historical moment was crucial for the progression of nursing.
