Jesus Children of America Part 1

Blanca (played by Hannah Hodson) is a Brooklyn teenager who has a daily routine of going to school and enjoying time with her friends despite the backdrop of utter squalor and poverty in which she lives with her parents. But this routine is interspersed with frequent visits to the hospital due to her continued ill health. After a school incident, she finally realises that she is an HIV positive daughter of drug addicted parents and the tale takes a dark and dramatic twist.

@MsBTRFLY82 Yeah this a very emotional film. Indie films are always the best! Just curious how did you find this video?

@MsBTRFLY82 Oh i thought that this was just one of many short films in the All the ivsable children collection. I didnt know there was more to it.

I originally was looking for Hawthorne episodes (she plays Camille) then this video showed on the side bar. I wish it was a full film, its still good though.
