Former foster youth face immense challenges as they age out of care. Each year, approximately 35,000 young adults are thrust into adulthood without sufficient preparation, guidance, or support. Many struggle to navigate responsibilities, leading to higher rates of homelessness, incarceration, unemployment, and mental health issues. The documentary shares these stories, shedding light on the foster care system and its impact on young lives.
