Film: From Place to Place

“The first in a series of conferences aimed at preventing human trafficking features a film that is not about trafficking.

“From Place to Place” — presented by Eastern North Carolina Stop Human Trafficking Now and Partners Against Trafficking Humans N.C. — is a documentary about a group of people who are aging out of the foster care system.”

Foster care, trafficking examined[Reflector 10/27/14 by Kim Grizzard]

About the film from http://fromplacetoplacemovie.com/about.html:

“What would you do without your family? What if you were all alone in the world? The feature documentary From Place to Place tells the story of the invisible children who grow up in America’s foster care system. For the first time, Mandy, Micah and Raif find their voice after being hurt, lost and silenced by the system that was supposed to take care of them. The film follows their lives for over two years as they struggle to make it on their own, find their voice and impact the system. By looking at the effects on a few individuals, the film makes the problem real. Statistics take on names and faces. Raif hits the streets in search of love and happiness, Mandy passes the GED and goes to college, and Micah is sentenced to three years in jail. The first half of the film provides an intimate and unprecedented glimpse into life post-foster care.
