Homecoming: The Forgotten World of America's Orphanages
"Orphanage" conjures images of dreary warehouses for unwanted children who are denied the most basic of human needs - love and a sense of family. In stark contrast to the Dickensian vision of orphan life, Homecoming: The Forgotten World of America's Orphanages provides a surprisingly different view. Throughout the award-winning film, 15 men and women who grew up in different public and private orphanages dispel many of the common myths about orphanage life. Their heartwarming recollections echo the positive experiences of thousands of now-grown orphanage alumni worldwide. Through their stories, a new portrait of an American family emerges.
