Truth to Transformation Documentary

Recipient of the “Homegrown Documentary Short” award at the 2024 Garden State Film Festival!

Truth to Transformation is a powerful look at child welfare in America, through the eyes of three people who experienced the trauma and complexities of the foster care system, and are using those experiences to co-design the future of child welfare in New Jersey. Co-produced by Powerful Families, Powerful Communities NJ and the New Jersey Department of Children and Families, this film features three PFPC-NJ co-designers telling their stories and hopes for what comes next as New Jersey grapples with difficult questions of race equity, shared leadership, and creating a supportive space for families to thrive, in-home and in-community, and without becoming deeply involved with child protective services.
