New HBO Documentary Highlights Stories of Foster Care

A new HBO documentary premiering this month, FOSTER, provides a snapshot of the daily lives of five individuals involved in the foster care system in Los Angeles County.

The film goes behind the scenes, capturing scenes from the daily lives of a young mother struggling to overcome addiction and reunify with her young child; a teenager navigating the juvenile delinquency system; a foster parent helping young people in her care overcome trauma and abuse; a young adult transitioning to college and independence, and a former client and partner of the Alliance, Jessica Chandler, who advocates for others as a DCFS social worker.

The film is scheduled to premiere on HBO Tuesday, May 7. Find more information here.
