Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story | 2003
Plot Summary:
Thora Birch is Liz, a young woman who grows up in a poor household where both parents are excessive drug addicts. She's a genius but she refuses to go to school because she doesn't know how to interact with her peers (she's intellectually superior to them).
When her mother leaves to live with her sexually abusive grandfather, Liz tries to live there but runs away after an argument with him. She lives on the street, and in a group home. She stays at friends' houses from time to time. She discovers what hardship really is.
After her mother dies from AIDS (which she acquired from drug use), Liz wakes up, and realizes her potential. She also realizes that she doesn't want to be homeless anymore, and that she wants to move on to a civilized lifestyle. So she goes to school. She is in gifted classes and she finishes High School in two years. She also receives a scholarship to Harvard, from the New Yor times for an essay she wrote about overcoming obstacles to get to her success.
The movie is very inspiring one of the best Lifetime movies created. Thora Birch proves that she is one of the best younger actresses today. Her powerful performance is very much deserving of an Emmy Award.

All Kinda Stuff !! Review:
Well,I watched this movie first time on Hallmark Channel (Which also happens to be my Favorite channel!), and i must say it just swept me off my feet and touched me deep inside my heart, and is one of the Very few movies which really Inspires you,motivates you to fight against all odds, adversities and to work hard with all your heart and soul, believing in your own self and finally winning, achieving success at the end....which makes the tough journey down the road worth it! Its a True Story of a Girl, Liz Murray who made a success out of herself!
