Gimme Shelter (2013)

Gimme Shelter is based on a true story about a distressed, pregnant teenager (Apple) who takes off from her mother's abusive wrath to go in search of her father. When she does find her father, despite discovering that he has another family, she tries to get along with them when her father's wife insists that Apple does not belong in their household because of her aggressive behaviour. She is then taken to a home for homeless, pregnant teenagers and finds a family within the home.

Gimme Shelter is an eye opening drama that shows the true and raw emotions that any person might under go at such a time in their lives. it is brutally truthful and has the ability to touch your heart from the very beginning. The character of Apple encourages people to be strong and hold their ground no matter what happens.


Vanessa Hudgens, starring as Apple, has shown an immense amount of versatility in her acting abilities. She went from being the typical, shy high school girl in High School Musical to being this seemingly fearless, strong and inspiring character in Gimme Shelter.
