Synopsis
Gimme Shelter (2013) is an American drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Ron Krauss and starring Vanessa Hudgens, Rosario Dawson, and Brendan Fraser. A pregnant teenager escapes her volatile mother and tracks down the father she has never met — a wealthy man with a new family and no interest in complications.
He turns her away. She ends up on the streets. Then a hospital chaplain connects her with a shelter for young mothers, and the film shifts into something quieter: a story about strangers becoming a kind of family. James Earl Jones appears in a small but grounding role as a priest. Hudgens plays against her usual image here — her character is hard-edged, frightened, and specific in a way the role required.
The film is drawn from a real program and real people. That weight comes through. Stream Gimme Shelter (2013) online on iFILM.
