bill t Documentary about older kids trying to get off the Foster Care system, you know, because they're 18 right? and realizing, that, you know, once you do leave, well, who's going to support you? We follow 3 kids, David, Risa, and Daniella, as they struggle with the system. All three have very different stories. David is the loser of the bunch, no future, always getting into trouble, big dreams etc. Daniella is a Mom with a somewhat loser boyfriend, struggling to gain an education while making it on her own, while Risa is the smartest of the bunch, very smart, educated, has the future in front of her, and doesn't need the foster care system anymore. With films like this of course, you pick favorites to succeed, and watch with amazement those who don't, but it does raise questions about how much support, either through the foster parents, the gummint, or through other means should the kids have to make it on their own after such a tumultious childhood. No real answers, and get ready for a real downer of an ending. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting look at foster care and what happens when foster children transition into the world on their own. This documentary follows three teens over a few years as they enter adulthood and attain freedom in their own ways, including prison, college, and parenthood. Both sad and hopeful, Aging Out is very engaging. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
