Trust: Second Acts in Young Lives
"TRUST is one of those brilliant pieces which remind us what documentary does best: captures small, specific stories which illuminate much broader issues and themes." ~ Huffington Post TRUST begins when Marlin, an 18-year-old Hondureña, shares a hidden history about her childhood with a neighborhood youth theater company. Marlin's story is about resilience: she endured rape as young girl, survived a harsh and difficult journey from Honduras to the U.S., suffered further abuse at the hands of her own brother, and overcame substance addiction. The film captures the amazing response from her fellow actors and the unexpected journey her story takes them on together: they transform Marlin's story into a daring, original play and Marlin re-claims power over the narrative of her life story. TRUST is about creativity and the unexpected resources inside youth who may be discounted because of their youth, race or ethnicity or because they come from under-resourced neighborhoods without access to arts programs.
