About the Movie
"Finding a Family" is based on the true
story of Alex Chivescu, a ward of the state of Michigan, who knowing he cannot
be emancipated from the foster care system, searches for a new mom and dad
within the school district that he believes can fulfill his lifelong dream of
attending an Ivy League university.
Alex (Jared Abrahamson) has a passion for learning,
instilled by his loving single mother, Ileana (Kim Delaney) who has a doctorate
degree and speaks six languages. When Alex was 10-years-old, Ileana had a
life-altering car crash that left her struggling with bouts of anger and
depression, so much so that a family court judge deemed her unfit to parent
Alex further.
The one constant in his life is school. When Alex’s
transportation funding ends, he discovers he’s about to be assigned to a foster
family outside the school district that can provide stability and a curriculum
that can get him into an Ivy League university. Alex is left with only one
option: in order to avoid being assigned outside the high school he loves, he
must find a new mom and dad....
