The film features the Chicopee Writers' Workshop in Massachusetts, a project designed to give economically disadvantaged women the opportunity to confront their difficulties and develop their talents through creative writing. Using verite footage, interviews and narrative sequences, this moving film reflects the diversity of the group and the direct, honest format of the workshop. The workshop consists of eigh women; some are young mothers, some are young grandmothers. When the group formed five years ago, most of the women had not finished high school. Now three women have graduated from college, three have earned GED certificates and one writer is enrolled in an M.F.A. program in creative writing. Taking its structure from the writers' work -- poetry, narrative pieces, short works of fiction and journal entries -- Tell Me Something I Can't Forget examines the role of creativity in everyone's life.
