Check out what people are saying about, America’s Most Unwanted:“Shani Heckman has captured the intelligence, integrity, and courage of all current and former foster youth. Her film has done an immense service to our community, inspiring not only myself but everyone I’ve shown it to.”
– Lauren, a former foster youth
”Shani Heckman’s ‘Americas Most Unwanted’ is a groundbreaking new film. It not only sheds light on the failings of foster care, but more importantly provides a platform for youth to share with the world their experiences growing up in foster care, struggles for survival, and experiences of triumph despite the failing system they were forced to grow up within.”
-Sassafras Lowrey Editor of the Kicked Out anthology
“I was completely moved by your film. It made me cry.”
- Macario, adult supporter
