520			_aNavigating the transition from adolescence to adulthood is challenging for even the most mature and privileged youth. For three teens in foster care in urban New York and Los Angeles, however, making the transition to independent living is considerably more difficult. Lacking family support, they are suddenly forced to fend for themselves with no job skills, meager financial resources, and little preparation to survive on their own. Following them as they become parents, battle drug addiction, cope with homelessness, and even end up in jail, this film shows how these teenagers try to use the resiliency they developed "in the system" to retake control of their lives and overcome the scars of their troubled childhoods to realize their dreams of independence and fulfillment. Also includes two Bonus shorts: "Case Closed" and "With No Direction Home". Interactive menus/Scene selection.
