| Summary: | In Care is about a mother's quest to get her children out of foster care. Janice Fisher has not had an easy life. She worked the streets as a teenager, was addicted to cocaine and had her first daughter taken from her when she was just fifteen. But she's since turned her life around, and is a good mother to three happy girls, until a false accusation gets them apprehended by foster care. Now, Janice is trapped in the system like a butterfly in a spider's web. The more she struggles to get out, the more stuck she gets. In Care is both an indictment of the racism that's inherent in our system and a tribute to the strength people as disadvantaged as Janice must have in order to survive. |
