The Homestretch

A documentary that follows three homeless teens in Chicago as they fight to stay in school, graduate, and build a future. Each of them work to complete their education while facing the trauma of being alone and abandoned at an early age. Through first-person narratives, the teens take viewers on their journeys of struggle and triumph. As their stories unfold, the film connects to larger issues of poverty, race, juvenile justice, immigration, foster care, and LGBT rights.  Watch the trailer.
