- Summary:
- Possible Selves explores the tumultuous high school years of Alex Ballantyne and Mia Derisso, two Los Angeles teenagers living in foster care. They dream of something that only 3% of young people in foster care achieve: graduating from college. In an opportunity seldom permitted, the Los Angeles County Children's Court granted the filmmakers access to document their lives. Through intimate interviews and raw emotion, Alex and Mia open up about their dreams and goals, their triumphs and failures, shining a powerful light on one of our least understood, most vulnerable, and most resilient populations: young people in foster care.
