"Seven out of 10 Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless."
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.
At 15, Inocente refuses to let her dream of becoming an artist be
caged by her life as an undocumented immigrant forced to live homeless
for the last nine years. Color is her personal revolution and its
extraordinary sweep on her canvases creates a world that looks nothing
like her own dark past – – a past punctuated by a father deported for
domestic abuse, an alcoholic and defeated mother of four who once took
her daughter by the hand to jump off a bridge together, an endless
shuffle year after year through the city’s overcrowded homeless shelters
and the constant threat of deportation.
Despite this history, Inocente’s eyes envision a world
transformed…where buildings drip in yellow and orange, where pink and
turquoise planets twinkle with rescued dreams, and one-eyed childlike
creatures play amongst loved babies and purple clouds. Inocente’s family
history is slowly revealed through her paintings.
Told entirely in her own words, we come to Inocente’s story as she
realizes her life is at a turning point, and for the first time, she
decides to take control of her own destiny. Irreverent, flawed and
funny, she’s now channeling her irrepressible personality into a future
she controls. Her 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. Meanwhile, her family life is at a tense impasse – – if she
legally emancipates herself from her mother to strike out on her own,
she’ll risk placing her brothers in foster care, but to stay is
unbearable.
INOCENTE is both a timeless story about the transformative power of
art and a timely snapshot of the new face of homelessness in America,
children.
Neither sentimental nor sensational, 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 the hand she has been dealt does not define
her, her dreams do.Watch the trailer below and be sure to check out Inocente on MTV, Friday August 17 at 10 pm EST.
