From the filmmaker of The Farm, Juvies is a compassionate and harrowing examination of the journeys of three young men through Maryland’s Juvenile Justice System: Shawn, about to turn 18, fights both the system and his own deep pessimism as he attempts to flee the life that got him in trouble in the first place; 16-year-old Anthony, a quiet, sad boy accused of arson, desperately tries to reconnect with his family; and Daniel, 14 years old and emotionally disturbed, finds himself trapped in a criminal system lacking the resources to help him. Their stories are as surprising as their personalities are individual; their experiences force one to re-evaluate stereotypes about youthful offenders—and the systems society has in place to help them.
