Film Club Screening of the Homestretch
"An amazing and important film with the potential to change the way we think about the problem of youth homelessness." - Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here
Human Rights Watch invites you to the screening of The Homestretch. This inspirational documentary explores the severely overlooked crisis of youth homelessness in the United States, by giving a voice to three teens fighting to build a more hopeful future. The film successfully exposes the striking flaws in domestic policies as they relate to juvenile justice, immigration, foster care and LGBTQIA rights.
The movie will be followed by a Q&A with Director Anne de Mare, HRW's LGBT Director Graeme Reid and LA County Office of Education's Melissa Schoonmaker. All guests are invited to attend a drink and taco reception.
