Footprints is a short documentary which brings to light an art program faciltated by muralist Frances McDonald and hosted by the AIM Center, a Chattanooga "clubhouse" whose mission is to aid in the social reintegration of adults with persistent mental health issues.

Shot in what might be called a cinéma vérité style, the film depicts a single day in the creation of a collaborative art project which will enable the Center's members to make their individual marks on the Center's new facility.
