Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story

I am trying to get a copy of this movie. The copy that I have is a recorded copy on a VCR tape that is not the best quailty and I would love to buy a new copy of it. I am a teacher and have shown this movie to my students since it came out the first time on lifetime. My students absoultely love it and it touches all of them in more ways than any other movie that they have seen. Does anyone know how I can order a new copy, if so please e-mail me at spurlocks@whitehouseisd.org. I am not sure if anyone has had Liz to speak at their school, but if you have I would love more information about how to find out if she is still doing public speaking as an outreach. Thank you to anyone who has any helpful information. This is an amazing and powerful story. When my students get the opportunity to see the movie they are so glad that they got to here Liz's story and can not believe that it is a true story.

THE Bomb movie

Great story. I have seen it many times but would like my high school class to watch it. If Liz ever gets out this way, I am at Staunton River High School in Bedford Co. and teach an Individual Development class. I would like her to speak to the student body and maybe take a trip to the Children and adolescent unit of Carilion's Psychiatric Rehab.
Thank you for being brave anough to have the story, and also to re live it so many times so others don't have to.
I would like a copy to show my students. Where can I get one?

If anyone could help with this its much appreciated. I am a teacher at a high school in Massachusetts. My wife and I watched this movie approximatley two weeks ago. I am desparately trying to obtain a copy of the movie for my classes. This is a tremendous story and one I know will make a significant impact with these young people. The story was so incredibly moving on many levels she is now the subject of our next writing assignment.

What struck me was the compassion, perseverance, the circumstances she found herself in and the combination of obstacles Miss Murray had to overcome. If anyone has information on how to obtain a copy from Lifetime or an authorized distributor, please email me at Jbedard1963@yahoo.com. Any assistance is welcomed on behalf myself and all the students yet to be touched by this remarkable story. Thank you for anything you might be able to share.

I thought the movie was extremely touching.How can I contact Liz Murray if I would like to ask her to speak at company meetings for motivation?

I am new to this website. How can I watch this movie online?

omg thats so amazing on what she did

I CANT BELIVE THIS WHAT SHE DID.

Dear Liz,
I was an audience particpant in Austin just yesterday (6/13/08) when you spoke to Texas School administrators encouraging us to look beyond what we see at face value and to realize the committment we as educators make in an effort to change the lives of students. I thank you for your powerful words and for reminding me of the awesome opportunity I posses to change and impact lives of young people. I believe this world is a better place because you are in it!! I only hope that in my lifetime I will affect change in another human being as you have affected change in my heart. You have rejuvinated my spirit and I am thankful.

Why did you leave Harvard? I think that was a mistake in your part. Would you ever go back and finish? You worked hard then to let it go. I think that was crazy. Good Luck and God Bless.

you have touched my heart and encouraged me since I was 19, when I was helpless. in one sense, I can feel the same feeling as your's. and now I am a student of a university, and I want to continue to find my own home. thank you very much!

My point of view was when i saw the movie i really felt
bad for Liz murry what she went through.
