Child of Rage (1992)
Based on a true story...
Okay, so this review comes several years after the movie aired, but after reading the other comments, I had to say something. First off, it seems only Mr. Puskar knows the story behind this movie. Yes, it was based on a true story. It originally aired as an HBO documentary back in 1989. It interviewed the real Catherine (Cat), and the foster parents. To Marcella, who said it was "fairly realistic", well I hope so, since it actually happened! But then when true stories are "Hollywoodized"... And for Melissa, who apparently didn't pay much attention to the movie, they didn't "choose a name that rhymed with brat", Cat was the girl's real name (obviously short for Catherine). Didn't the movie, at one point, state that it was based on a true story? I seem to remember that. Anyway, the original HBO presentation was just incredible, it left a lasting impression on me. Although, the movie didn't come close to the documentary, it was still pretty good.
