The film is based on the experiences Rainwater had when he himself lived on the streets. [3]

Plot

Based on true events experienced by Rotimi Rainwater, Sugar is the story of a young girl named Sugar with a troubled past trying to survive on the streets of Venice Beach. Sugar has PTSD after losing her entire family in a horrific car crash. She survives with her group of outcast friends on the streets of Venice Beach, trying to find their own place in the world. Like so many homeless youth, Sugar is running from the pain of her past and will do anything to escape it. However, with the help of Bishop, her counselor in the youth shelter, she is able to reconnect with her uncle who has been searching for her. Sugar's new world starts to crumble when forced to confront the demons she's run from for the last two years. Sugar is an all too common story of a troubled youth learning how to stop hiding, and to start healing.

Production

Sugar began filming on November 30, 2010. The film was released theatrically in November 2013.

Reception

In Los Angeles Times , Inkoo Kang said that "as a whole, the film's characters touchingly illustrate the tolls of living with unresolved trauma and chronic uncertainty, as well as the solidarity and relative freedom this community of outcasts enjoys." [2] For Variety , Geoff Berkshire highlighted in his review writing that "this dramatically inert story of homeless youth reveals a fundamental lack of depth and urgency in its storytelling." [1]
