Alien at the Movies

The Broken Rose

A young black girl in Oakland is placed in foster care for her protection. Now 17, Rose has suffered mental & physical abuse within the system so she drops out of school & runs away with a sweet talking older boy who takes her in & spoils her. Then her new boyfriend slowly manipulates her into turning tricks for him to support his life style. Then bad goes to worse so Rose tries to escape. This is the sad story of a girl from the hood looking for love & never realizing her self worth. This is a hard watch because of the violence & realism of this dark ugly true side of life.
