Gimme Shelter

A troubled teen (Vanessa Hudgens) is failed by the system and toughen by the hard knocks of bad foster care and an abusive drug-addicted mom (Rosario Dawson). The search for her dad (Brendan Frasier) turns out disappointing so she becomes a runaway until she ends up at a shelter for wayward girls. Hudgens is convincing as the angry jaded girl and Dawson is disturbing as the worst mother ever. James Earl Jones is the inspiration for hope in this heartbreaking & heartwarming movie based on a true story. See photos of the real people represented in this movie during the credits.
