The reason you need to see this movie, if you are a reader of this blog, is because it is a graphic illustration, based on a true story, of what it means to age out of foster care without a family.
Keep in mind, however, when you watch it, that the more realistic of the two scenarios (Antwoine connecting with his birthmother and Antwoine connecting with his birth father's family) is the meeting of his birthmom. I won't say more because I don't want to give it away.
if you'd rather read the book or would also like to read the book, it of course, is more detailed than the movie.
Finally, my favorite in this journey from the movie to the books, is a powerful collection of poetry written by this same boy now man.
