Movie Review: Clancy
Introduction
Storyline
Clancy (Christina Fougnie) is a young girl abused by her mother. Her mother not only physically abuses her, but also blames Clancy for her not having a life or money. She tells Clancy that her life was so much better before she had her. Clancy runs away to avoid being taken away by social workers and hopes while she is gone her mom will get help. On the streets she crosses paths with an angry homeless veteran, Nick (Jefferson Moore).An immoral mayor desperate for re-election plots a devious plan to "find" the lost girl. He includes the police chief in his plan to set up the homeless man. With the promise of restarting his life, Nick agrees to keep the girl out of sight. But when a loan shark corners Nick, he and Clancy escape to the country. The corrupt mayor now sets his sights on a more shocking alleged rescue/manhunt across county lines.
Clancy is an emotional roller coaster. Viewers will hold their breath in suspense, laugh, and cry. Clancy is a positive child and even though she is abused, she does not let anything get her down. She says "Bad things are always going to happen, but being miserable doesn’t have to."She explains the Gospel to Nick in an easy to understand and effective way. The simple truths that Clancy explains to Nick are what bring the two of them together. As the young girl grows on the homeless veteran he discovers that he wants to care about another person and his own life again. Because of some strong topics – abuse, runaway, homelessness, bribery, etc. it may not be suitable for younger children.
Conclusion 
Clancy is a high quality film and the entire cast is extremely talented. This is the first starring role for Christina Fougnie, but viewers will only see a professional young actress. The writer (Jefferson Moore) also plays Nick in the film, does an outstanding job. The production is very entertaining and brings the reality of the story to life.
