Vanessa Hudgens is the focus of the new poster for Roadside Attractions’ Gimme Shelter from writer/director Ron Krauss. Coming to theaters on January 24, 2014, the cast also includes Rosario Dawson, Brendan Fraser, James Earl Jones, Ann Dowd, and Dascha Polanco.
The Plot:
Based on a true story that centers on 16-year-old Agnes “Apple” Bailey (Vanessa Hudgens), Gimme Shelter uncovers the struggle for survival and the hope of redemption through the harsh realities of life on the streets. As a pregnant teenager, Apple’s journey plummets her into a perilous struggle until finding salvation in a suburban shelter for homeless teens.
With provisions of unprecedented comfort, a collective sisterhood connection, and female empowerment, the shelter elevates Apple to break the shackles of her past and inspires her to embrace the future with clarity, maturity, and hope not only for herself but her unborn child.
