Based on a True Story

2023

Based on a True Story (2023) is an American comedy drama series which includes a kinship care character.
Ava Bartlett (Kaley Cuoco) and her husband Nathan Bartlett (Chris Messina) have been caring for Ava’s sister, Tory Thompson (Liana Liberator) since her mother died.
Tory is a college student, preparing for her final exams. She watches on bemusedly as Ava and Nathan become involved in making a podcast with a serial killer.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
