Reader Reviews
N.B.: It is as important to watch the two segments in the extras as it is to see the 3 people discussed in the documentary. It's unclear why all 5 ppl weren't incorporated into one movie. This documentary focused upon three individuals who were "aging out" of the foster care system. They looked at a male and two females; a white, a Latina, and a Black with an Asian romantic partner, so the subjects are diverse. This film is so frustrating because each person shoots him- or herself in the foot. The Latina turned to illegal drugs to deal with her family's abuse, rather than seeking out counseling which I imagine would have been available at the schools she attended. When she was at UCSB, she seemed surrounded by students who were of a different class and race than her. I wonder would she have had more support if there were other low-income Mexican Americans around her. (Hello, affirmative action-lacking California! Wake up!) The male interviewed said he wanted to go to Japan and be a ninja. How dumb and unrealistic is that!? This guy gets denied admittance to the military because he has too many psychological problems. Too many young males think the only requirement to join the military is to be heterosexual and thin. The American military denies people for all kinds of reasons, so young guys should not assume they will be automatically enlisted. All three of the former foster kids are upset by rules that are meant to help them and that young people with parents often follow. They gawked, "You want me to stay in school just so that I can get X benefit!?" Yes! People with parents have rules too if they want college paid for or a roof over their heads. Get over it! Again in fairness, these people take risks that many young people do. However, they don't have parents to act as a safety net like most of us, so their bad choices have worse consequences. In all fairness, I think the poor decisions of the three reveals the downfall of not having consistent parents. I hate to be Freudian, but maybe if adults had guided them or supported them from day one, then they wouldn't have chosen the dumb options that they did. The ending will surprise and upset many. Go grab the tissue if you are an emotion viewer. If you enjoy documentaries about marginalized and oppressed youth, like in "Girlhood" or "Born into Brothels," then you will enjoy this.
