| Summary |
This **Emmy**-winning documentary follows three homeless teens as they fight to stay in school, graduate, and build a future. Each of these smart, ambitious teenagers 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. Through haunting images, intimate scenes, and first-person narratives, these teens take us on their journeys of struggle and triumph. As their stories unfold, the film connects us deeply with larger issues of poverty, race, juvenile justice, immigration, foster care, and LGBTQ rights. Winner of Outstanding Business and Economic Reporting - Long Form at the **News & Documentary Emmy Awards**. *"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*** |
