Film Description

For the first time a group of residents at Green Chimney's Gramercy Residence document their lives inside the foster care system. Green Chimney's Gramercy Residence is a group home for adolescents 15-21 years of age who identify as gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning their sexual identity. In this video the youth present a first hand account of life within one of only two programs in the United States that provide residential services for GLBTQ youth. Through interviews, and testimonials these youth provide a moving account of the friendships and emotional supports that the youth have created for themselves within the residence. This project also highlights their fight to establish a unique identity that is often stigmatized by society, and be accepted for who they are by a system that is often indifferent to their struggle.
