Each of these smart, ambitious youths \u2014 Roque, Kasey, and Anthony \u2014 will surprise, inspire, and challenge audiences to rethink stereotypes of homelessness as they work to complete their education while facing the trauma of being alone and abandoned at an early age. While told through a personal perspective, their stories connect with larger issues of poverty, race, juvenile justice, immigration, foster care, and LGBTQ rights.<\/p>\n<p>With unprecedented access into Chicago public schools, The Night Ministry \u201cCrib\u201d emergency youth shelter, and Teen Living Programs\u2019 Belfort House, The Homestretch follows these kids as they move through the milestones of high school while navigating a landscape of couch hopping, emergency shelters, transitional homes, street families, and a school system on the front lines of the homelessness crisis. The Homestretch examines the struggles these youth face in obtaining a high school level education, and then follows them beyond graduation to focus on the crucial transition when the structure of school vanishes, and homeless youth often struggle to find the support and community they need to survive and be independent. A powerful, original perspective on what it means to be young and homeless in America today, while building a future.<\/p>\n<p>Community Cinema is an outreach project of CMU Public Television and the Dennos Museum Center.
