American Street Kid (2016)
Rings true

I have been a volunteer with an organization that helps homeless and at-risk youth for 4.5 years, and this film speaks their truth. These kids have faced adversity most of us never will, and they form families and do whatever they can to survive on the streets. The movie presents an honest view of what life is really like for these kids, and shows some success stories--what these kids can accomplish with some help and someone truly believing in them and cheering them on. It also shows how bleak and harsh street life is, and how hopeless and unhelpful municipal programs are in terms of making real changes--without persistence.
