Gimme Shelter (2013)

In the unforgiving urban jungle, 16-year-old Agnes "Apple" Bailey (Vanessa Hudgens) navigates a tumultuous life, marked by the callous hands of fate. Raised in the shadow of her abusive, drug-addicted mother, June Bailey (Rosario Dawson), a prostitute who sees Apple as nothing more than a ticket to welfare money, Apple has become street-smart, intimately knowing every alley and motel. Yet, her spirit remains unbroken, her dreams unclouded by the grim reality she's trapped in. Fueled by an indomitable will and a fierce desire for a better life, Apple escapes from her mother's toxic grasp and embarks on a quest to find her estranged father, Tom Fitzpatrick (Brendan Fraser). Once a teen father and now a successful Wall Street broker, Tom is a stranger to Apple, but represents a beacon of hope amidst her chaotic life. Her time under her father's roof is short-lived, however, as a twist of fate reveals that she is pregnant. The father is a boy from the streets, a fleeting connection from her past, who now abandons her. Unwilling to agree with her decision to keep the baby, her newfound family turns their back on her, forcing Apple back onto the streets. In the face of adversity, Apple finds a guardian angel in the form of Father McCarthy (James Earl Jones), the chaplain of a local hospital, who rescues her from the brink of disaster. He introduces her to a sanctuary, a shelter for young, pregnant women, run by the compassionate Kathy (Ann Dowd). As Apple steps into this haven, she hesitantly begins to connect with other girls who share her plight. Together, they form an unconventional family, a beacon of hope, and a testament to resilience. Amidst the harsh realities of life, Apple discovers the strength within herself, the courage to defy fate, and the power of shared stories. "Gimme Shelter" (2013) is a stirring tale of survival, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of a girl who refuses to be defined by her circumstances.
