Info by Topic / Trailer for The Homestretch


Trailer for The Homestretch

The Homestretch is a moving documentary produced by Spargel Productions and Kartemquin Educational Films about three teenagers experiencing homelessness. From the producers: “The Homestretch follows three homeless teens as they fight to stay in school, graduate, and build a future. Each of these smart, ambitious teenagers – Roque, Kasey and Anthony – will surprise, inspire, and challenge audiences to rethink stereotypes of homelessness as they work to complete their education while facing the trauma of being alone and abandoned at an early age.”
