Aging Out

Last Minute Sales & Specials

Artfully co-directed by award-winning filmmakers Roger Weisberg and Vanessa Roth, "Aging Out" chronicles the daunting obstacles that three foster children encounter as they "age out" of the system and are suddenly on their own for the first time. Following them as they become parents, battle drug addiction, and even end up in jail, Weisberg and Roth show how three adolescents use the tenacity they developed "in the system" to retake control of their lives. "Aging Out" is more than a dark chronicle of young people who move from foster care into the welfare, mental health, and criminal justice systems. This emotionally complex film is also a portrait of young adults struggling to overcome the scars of childhood in order to realize their dreams of independence and fulfillment.
