Underdogs on the Big Screen: A Rare Glimpse at Foster Care's Hidden World The film industry has long romanticized underdog stories, but few have tackled the specific challenges faced by teenagers in foster care.
"Underdogs," a new feature directed by Fabia Martin and starring Alisha Weir, offers an unflinching portrayal of life in the care system.
Martin's inspiration for the film comes from her work with PromiseWorks, a mentoring charity that supports young people growing up in foster care.
