Richmond, IN

 

The Student Social Work Association at Indiana University East presents ReMoved, and incredibly emotional story of a 10 year old girl who navigates her way through the foster care system after being removed from her home and separated from her younger brother. The purpose of the film is to bring awareness to the importance of the foster care program and the need for quality foster parents.
