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. Homeless and alone, she begged and stole to feed herself.
Foster care ignored her. The juvenile justice system failed her.
With no one to turn to, she was taken to "Motel Drive," a street in Fresno 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. Today she is a national spokesperson on the issue of youth homelessness for Virgin Mobile's RE*Generation campaign. She is also starting a non-profit foundation and developing a fund for community economic development in Fresno.
A classmate at UCLA Anderson, David Sauvage, has made Carissa, a documentary about her life. He and Carissa traveled to Fresno in the summer of 2006 and captured the best and worst of her journey, to see what can be learned from it.
They came back with some astonishing material.
Sponsored by Virgin Mobile and the Los Angeles Dodgers Dream Foundation, the film has been having great success on the festival circuit, winning the Jury Prize in its category seven times. Carissa was also one of four short films selected by the International Documentary Association for Docuweek, a prestigious theatrical showcase held at the Arclight in Los Angeles that qualifies documentaries for Academy Award consideration.Years ago, Carissa was abandoned in the lobby of the juvenile hall in Fresno.

The drivers are fearless, ready to risk life and limb to complete their journeys. We encounter a crowd waiting at the entrance of an unfinished tunnel. The roof has collapsed, and the lorries cannot get through. The travellers work for long hours inhaling dust and carbon monoxide, hoping that the vibrations from the engines will not cause the tunnel to collapse on their heads.
High up the hills, wood cutters fell the trees to make carbon, before embarking upon a back-breaking hike to the road side where they will sell their wares. To reach their destination they must swing across a 50 metre river on a make-shift flying-fox, their heavy cargo in tow. Further along, a Buddhist monk loads heavy stones on the back of a geriatric pick up truck, and an entrepreneur gambles his savings on a lead mine. The stories of the Duong Valley's intrepid inhabitants interweave with the drama of its beautiful but unpredictable landscape.The drivers are fearless, ready to risk life and limb to complete their journeys.
