The Sponge

It is often said that a child's brain is like a SPONGE, because it literally absorbs everything. The raising of a child can have either a negative or positive affect on their adult life and beliefs. The Sponge is about a boy whose life set off on a path of trauma after being placed in foster care. Matt Oldham takes you on a transparent journey of his quest to survive while evolving from a lost little boy to a confused young man, still on the path of self-discovery. The Sponge will paint a vivid picture of foster care and the insurmountable trauma that leads to emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual scarring of children subjected to the system.
