For those of you who may not have been able to join us for the screening of Tough Love in June, you can watch the film for the month of October on PBS. Here's the LINK.
This a a great film about the struggle parents face in trying to get their kids back after removal. One attorney who saw this in June said "Every AG, GAL and parental defense attorney should see this film!" We couldn't agree more, and hope you take the time to watch.
SHORT SYNOPSIS OF FILM
Offering a rare look at the inner workings of the American child welfare system, Tough Love chronicles the lives of two parents—one in Seattle and one in New York City—as each fights to be reunited with children taken out of their custody. Through intimate, verité footage of both families, we witness first-hand the complex and daunting bureaucracy of America’s family courts. Moreover, we come to understand the powerful role poverty and prejudice play in keeping parents and children apart— and the challenges parents must overcome in order to put their families back together. The film is approximately 85 minutes.
