It finally happened – I officially changed the name of my long-term documentary project.
In 1996 when I filmed the first part of this portrait of three single punk rock mothers on welfare, I had just moved to the States from Germany and found the title All Well + Fair very clever. Enough years of living in the U.S. have convinced me that the expression really does start with “all’s” and that plus signs aren’t that clever either.
So now that the second part (2006) has been filmed and the documentary takes on a whole different life, a new better title seemed appropriate: All’s Well and Fair.
