I Have A Name

2026

One Child. One Family. One story that shines a light on Foster Care

I HAVE A NAME is a powerful, true-story-inspired drama that follows Gary and Lily as a simple act of compassion—taking in a young foster child—pulls them into a complex system that forever changes their lives. As they navigate the harsh realities of foster care, including abuse, separation, and trauma, the film offers a raw, honest look at a broken system while calling for awareness, compassion, and change.
