Never given a reason to believe in themselves, they have no idea what effect their stories will have.

By looking at the effects on a few individuals, the film makes the problem real.

The second half of the film takes an unexpected turn when Mandy and Raif are invited to Washington, D.C. to testify to the Senate Caucus on Foster Youth.

At the Caucus event, Raif and Mandy talk about their foster care experiences and ideas for how the system can change.

Mandy and Raif continue spreading their message, which leads to efforts to radically reform America’s foster care system.
