A Pebble In The Pond

From it's humble beginnings in the 1890's through today, Assistance League has been creating ripples and changing lives for over 125 years. This enjoyable documentary tells the story of Anne Banning, a forgotten American Pioneer who formed Assistance League and changed charity. Ann Benson (Betty White's Off Their Rockers and Ann Asks) hosts a journey that includes multiple chapters of Assistance League and the people whose lives the organization has touched, including a former NFL player, an assault survivor who now helps other women, an Orthodontist who was helped as a teen, the Organization's dedicated volunteers, and the countless children impacted even today by Assistance League's signature program, Operation School Bell. Animated sequences throughout the film give Anne Banning her rightful place in history, and Assistance League the credit it deserves as a storied, innovative, ripple-creating organization. This film will leave you smiling and inspired.
