“It’s more than a movie; it’s a movement.”
The award-winning documentary STUCK makes its inaugural stop of a 60-city tour in Richmond on Friday, March 1 at Bowtie Movieland Boulevard Square.
The movie is designed to raise awareness – and outrage – over the deplorable system for international adoption. Bureaucracy, inefficiencies and politics keep children incarcerated in orphanages around the world, when loving families are willing and eager to adopt them.
STUCK follows the stories of four orphans from Haiti, Vietnam and Ethiopia and their heartbreaking struggles to go home. See the trailer below:
The film was created by Both Ends Burning, a non-profit dedicated to international adoption reform. Founder Craig Juntunen is convinced that it is every child’s fundamental right to have the opportunity to grow up in a loving family. As producer of the movie, his vision is for STUCK to be a change agent in reforming the current broken process of international adoption.
The STUCK Tour bus will end in Washington, D.C. when the signatures collected during the trip will be delivered to legislators on Capitol Hill during the Step Forward for Orphans March on May 17.
