WUCF TV presents
a special preview of the film,
The Homestretch. This free screening takes place
at the Orlando Public Library on Monday, April 13th at 6pm

haunting images, intimate scenes, and first-person narratives, these teens take
us on their journeys of struggle and triumph. As their stories unfold, the film

justice, immigration, foster care, and LGBTQ rights. Following
