Inocente International Premier at Hot Docs in Toronto!

Inocente will have its international premier at the Hot Docs film festival in Toronto, Canada.  Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in Toronto is North America’s largest documentary festival, conference and market. Each year, the Festival presents a selection of more than 150 cutting-edge documentaries from Canada and around the globe.  Our film War/Dance won the Hot Docs Audience Award when it screened there in 2007.

INOCENTE is an intensely personal and vibrant coming of age documentary about a young artist’s fierce determination to never surrender to the bleakness of her surroundings. Despite a history of domestic abuse and spending the last 9 years homeless, 15-year-old Inocente is irreverent, flawed and funny and she’s now channeling her irrepressible personality into a future she controls.  Her artistic talent has finally been noticed, and if she can create a body of work in time, she has an opportunity to put on her first art show. Both a timeless story about the transformative power of art and a timely snapshot of the new face of homelessness in America, children, INOCENTE will immerse you in the very real, day-to-day existence of a young girl who is battling a war that we rarely see. The challenges are staggering, but the hope in Inocente’s story proves that her circumstances do not define her, her dreams do.
