Lillie and RaShaunda Allen, Mother and Daughter, Vital Signs , June 1997

"I think we've had a pretty open relationship and were able to talk to each other," says Lillie Allen of her relationship with her daughter RaShaunda. It (the film) gave us a chance to see how much work we've already done." Shaun agrees. "Doing the film strengthened our relationship. We already had a good relationship," she says, "but it helped us to get some things straight." The 14-year old 10th grader adds, "It cleared up a few things that were happening in my life at that time."
