According to Variety, the upcoming Searchlight Pictures film is scheduled to hit select Los Angeles and New York theaters on February 2, 2024.

Based on Chinn’s life from the early 2000s and her experiences tending to his brother’s serious illness, the movie will center around a teenager as she navigates high school life while also looking after her brother. When her audacious mother decides to take her brother to a specialized facility, she soon forms an unlikely friendship with an activist who is protesting for what was described as one of the most controversial medical cases.
“Inspired by the semi-autobiographical story of a teenager who, while caring for her brother along with her audacious mother, strikes up an unlikely friendship with an eccentric activist who is protesting one of the most landmark medical cases of all time,” the official synopsis for Suncoast reads.
