Resilience (2026)
Director: Kenna Faith Cunningham
Based on true events, *Resilience* is a purpose-driven independent film that plunges into the harrowing world of a young girl trapped in the foster care revolving door. When a bureaucratic ruling lands her in a brutal juvenile detention center—a place that cynically disguises chaos and cruelty as “therapy”—she is thrust into a real-life *Lord of the Flies* nightmare. Wrestling with the trauma of her own fractured upbringing, she must endure relentless physical and emotional torment, not only from the facility’s corrupt staff but also from fellow inmates, each haunted by their own demons. This is a raw, unflinching journey of survival, as a band of broken youth claw their way toward light, forging an unbreakable alliance to dismantle the very system that was supposed to protect them.
