A fascinating documentary about the inner workings of child welfare systems. The focus here is on several parents working through the system to regain custody of their children who were removed from their families for neglect. This film offers surprisingly intimate views of the New York City and Seattle children welfare societies’’ inner workings? Perspectives come from the parents (including foster parents who have been given temporary custody of the kids), social workers and judges. Informative, sad, sometimes funny, with some uplifting moments.
