Documentary: From Place to Place

This documentary follows two former foster care children,Mandy Baldwin and Raif Walter, as they set out to change the foster care system that raised them.

“Despite facing the all too common struggles of life post foster care, they are determined to not only make it but to change the system for the next generation of kids in care. Mandy and Raif go to Capitol Hill to meet members of Congress and present to the Senate Caucus on Foster Youth, which released a Call to Action on comprehensive child welfare reform.

Later the pair go to Philadelphia and New York City to share their message. “If every foster child had a voice I believe the system would literally change overnight,” Mandy said.”
