Event Details

(USA, 2014, 89 min., color, DVD, NR) Three homeless teenagers brave Chicago winters, the pressures of high school, and life alone on the streets to build a brighter future. Against all odds, these kids defy stereotypes as they create new, surprising definitions of home. Can they recover from the traumas of abandonment and homelessness and build the future they dream of? -Kartemquin Films “The Homestretch invites you to empathize with its subjects, to worry with them, to laugh with them, to worry about them. It's engaging and compelling viewing.” Glenn Kenny, RogerEbert.com, 9/12/2014 This film is presented by Crandall Public Library and WMHT Educational Telecommunications
