Born into the chaos of foster care and forged on the unforgiving streets of the inner city, two siblings refused to be broken — and built something the world said was impossible.
This is a short preview of the film. The full-length documentary is a private commission, produced exclusively for the subject and their family.
Some stories begin in places that were never meant to be starting points. This is one of them.
Born into the instability of the foster care system and raised on streets that offered more danger than direction, two siblings found in each other the only constant they had ever known. The world around them offered every reason to fail — and they chose, quietly and with extraordinary resolve, to refuse.
Roots of the Broken is a cinematic portrait of survival, loyalty, and the kind of love that forms not in comfort, but in the fire of shared hardship. It is a film about what it means to build a life from nothing — and to do it together.
