"The Homestretch" follows three homeless teens, Roque, Kasey, and Anthony, as they fight to stay in school, graduate and build a future. Roque was separated from his family due to immigration issues and was sometimes forced to fend for himself, beginning in his sophomore year in high school Anthony spent his childhood in foster homes and went out on his own at the age of 14. Kasey spent over a year bouncing around between friends, family members and sleeping on the street, ultimately dropping out of high school her senior year. We meet Kasey in the film as she just enters a new transitional home and is re-enrolled in school.The film connects us with poverty, race, and juvenile justice.
