Producers invited 120 foster children on set and film received standing ovation at special screening
When a film about a child tortured in a corrupt foster care system was shown to teenage survivors of similar abuse and neglect, its British producer feared the subject could prove too traumatic for them to watch.
But Peter Samuelson was moved when they told him afterwards that the film had given them a voice and that some of those who had observed its filming on set had been inspired to pursue careers in the film industry.
