Synopsis:
In a time of urgency for the protection of human rights around the world,
educational and social reforms are compromising the basic rights of young
people right here in New York City. In 1996, high school students at the
Educational Video Center (EVC) produced SOME PLACE TO CALL HOME, a piece that
examines the foster care system through the eyes of young people living within
it. In the tradition of Michael Apted's 7-UP series, last year's EVC student
producers went looking for these same young people to chronicle, in cinema
verite style, the struggles they've faced since 1996 in making their way up
and out of the New York City foster care system.
