This intimate documentary from Emmy-nominated director Nicole Opper follows an adolescent boy’s inspiring journey from destitution and hopelessness to determination and reconciliation.

Juan Carlos is a 16-year-old. He ran away from an abusive home and lived on Mexico City’s streets before finally finding stability at Puebla’s Instituto Poblano de Readaptación, A.C., aka IPODERAC, a unique group home that offers shelter and brotherhood to young people in need. Opper’s film allows us to witness Juan Carlos’ experience at IPODERAC, along with those of others. Visitor’s Day is about the transformations that can occur when organizations go the extra mile to reach out to those ready to overcome adversity.
