Synopsis:
"Love
& Diane" is a frank and astonishingly intimate real-life drama of a
mother and daughter desperate for love and forgiveness, but caught in a
devastating cycle. During the 1980's, a crack cocaine epidemic ravaged
impoverished many inner city neighborhoods. As parents like Diane succumbed
to addiction, a generation of children like Love entered the foster care
system. Shot over ten years, the film centers on Love and Diane after the
family is reunited and is struggling to reconnect. Now eighteen and a mother
herself, Love must reconcile her anger and confront the ways in which her
mother's past mistakes haunt her life. Diane, in turn, makes new choices
for herself, seeking to break the treadmill of addiction and poverty. Powerful
and immediate, "Love & Diane" is an epic film that shatters stereotypes
and offers hope amidst seemingly impossible odds. |
