“Jada” is a moving recount of a young families’ struggles as they adjust to the death of a father and the resulting loss of their home. Financial struggles face many families, often displacing them from the lives that they used to know.

In this film, Jada faces many challenges as she tries to keep her son and daughter safe in their new life in a not-so-nice neighborhood in East LA. The situations portrayed are indeed stark and rough but not unrealistic in any way. While Dove would like to award our seal to a film of this type with a strong message of the need for fathers and mentoring of our youth, we cannot do so due to the language used.
