We Gotta Get Out Of Here. Left homeless not hopeless

Three young African American boys from Los Angeles have a dream: to emancipate themselves from the foster care system in California to start an independent life.

Known for her interest in underprivileged characters, filmmaker Jen Araki documents their daily lives through the lens of a camera that tries, always with a respectful distance, to capture their truth at this key moment of their youth.
