December 10, 2013 - Debbie Snook of The Plain Dealer was kind enough to cover YOUR STORY ON FILM's latest documentary - The HEAL Initiative:
The Healthy Eating & Active Living Initiative is sweeping through the Buckeye, Larchmere, and Woodland Hills neighborhoods on the East Side of Cleveland, Ohio. Gaining momentum on the neighborhood level, residents are coming together to promote healthier local options - both for food and exercise. As you'll find, HEAL is not so much a program, as it is a MOVE-ment. Neighbors are helping neighbors live well; and the possibilities for positive change are only limited by the vision that we cast as a community.
