The Homestretch Film Screening
As part of the (In)Justice For All International Film Festival, The Criminal and Juvenile Justice Clinic Presents...
THE HOMESTRETCH
Three homeless teenagers brave Chicago winters, the pressures of high school, and life alone on the streets to build a brighter future. Against all odds, these kids defy stereotypes as they create new, surprising definitions of home. Can they recover from the traumas of abandonment and homelessness and build the future they dream of?
Following the screening, the Criminal and Juvenile Justice Clinic will facilitate a dialogue with the film's directors, followed by an expert panel of leaders in the movement to end homelessness in Chicago.
Co-Sponsored by BLSA, Neighbors, Defenders, and SSA. This event is free and open to the public, but seating may be limited.
