Stevie
Directed by Steve James
Produced by Steve James
Distributed by Lions Gate Films
Wednesday, February 18, at 7:30 p.m., James Bridges Theater, Los Angeles, free admission

The filmmaker originally met Stevie, an abused and neglected child, when he was in the Big Brother program; he irretrievably steps back into a difficult family situation when he re-connects with this troubled boy ten years later. Although Stevie’s problems have magnified all too predictably in the ensuing years, it is not easy to make clean, easy judgments, as this film shows us.
Digital, 140 min.
