A film made by young people who have been through the care system will receive its premiere at the Oxford Playhouse on Wednesday night.
The movie called the Tears it takes, shows the challenges faced by children in foster care.
Kevin Hawes, who plays the lead role, said: "I wasn't really acting. I was portraying a side of my life from when I was younger."
Copies of the film will be given to children, carers and social workers.
