A personal and vibrant coming of age story about a young
artist's determination never to surrender to the bleakness of her surroundings.
At 15, Inocente refuses to let her dream of becoming an artist be caged by
being an undocumented immigrant forced to live homeless for the last nine
years. Color is her personal revolution and its sweep on her canvases creates a
world that looks nothing like her own dark past. 'Inocente' is both a timeless
story about the transformative power of art and a timely snapshot of the new
face of homelessness in America: children. The challenges are staggering, but
the hope in her story proves that the hand she has been dealt does not define
her, her dreams do.
