The Homestretch – Homeless Youth
“The Homestretch”
follows three homeless teens, one of them LGBTQ, as they fight to stay in school, graduate, and build a future.
Each of these smart, ambitious teenagers – Roque, Kasey and Anthony – will surprise, inspire, and challenge audiences to rethink stereotypes of homelessness as they work to complete their education while facing the trauma of being alone and abandoned at an early age.
As their stories unfold, the film connects us deeply with larger issues of poverty, race, juvenile justice, immigration, foster care, and LGBTQ rights.
