Years ago, Carissa was abandoned in the lobby of the juvenile hall in Fresno. She ran away from group homes and ended up on the streets. With no one to turn to, she was taken to "Motel Drive," a street in Fresno, CA known for prostitution, and told what to do. She was twelve years old. Amazingly, Carissa turned her life around. She graduated from UCLA in June, 2007, with both a law degree and an MBA. A classmate at UCLA, David Sauvage, has made "Carissa," a documentary about her life. This pod looks at the making of the documentary that follows one young woman's insightful, inspiring struggle.
