"Once upon a time there was a girl who was being torn apart. In between the homes, she learned not to trust. To always have her guard up."

"These are powerful, short films (12 & 22 minutes) about a young girl in the U.S. foster care system, told from her point of view. These films are so compassionate and sensitive to the child's emotions, I found them very moving even though I don't share the girl's life experiences."

They were made as a training tool for people working in the foster care system.
