Ashley, a young Native-American Caucasian girl, converts to Islam in hopes of finding structure in a life where it never existed, but with that decision comes the risk of losing one of the few biological connections she still has. My Identity tells the story of how race, religion, and family heritage can shape one's identity.

My Identity is a short documentary film. If you'd like to schedule a screening please contact us at info@fostercarefilm.com
