Powerful film about foster care and rough childhoods (13 minutes)

[Phalanx]

Found this one through a blogpost. Its about 13 minutes long and i highly recommend it.

Its a kind of a poetic portrait of the struggle some children go through. Narrated by the child as she is going through a miserable process of finding the place where she can feel loved and safe. Everyone should watch it. Trust me. Its very humbling. Words don’t give it enough credit.

Here is their own description:

We made ReMoved with the desire that it would be used to serve in bringing awareness, encourage, and be useful in foster parent training, and raising up foster parents. .
If you would like to use the film for any of these reasons, the answer is yes.
If you need a downloadable version, you can download it here:

Originally created for the 168 Film Festival, ReMoved follows the emotional story through the eyes of a young girl taken from her home and placed into foster care.

After winning Best Film and Audience Choice at the 168 Film Festival, as well as winning Best Film at the Enfoque Film Festival and being an official selection at the Santa Barbara Independent Film Festival, we’re extremely excited to share ReMoved online.

“It would be impossible to fully understand the life and emotions of a child going through the foster care system, but this short narrative film portrays that saga in a poetic light, with brushes of fear, anger, sadness, and a tiny bit of hope.” -Santa Barbara Independent

May every child have the chance to be part of a loving family. I pray that every child feel loved and wanted. Father God please cause miracles to happen to accomplish these things. Please raise up godly foster parents. Holy Family pray for us. Amen.
