  • "A compelling look at how a myriad of forces from poverty, neglect and abuse have affected the development of a troubled young man from the Midwest. Filmed from 1995 to 1999, the story of STEVIE actually began in 1982, when Steve James, a student at Southern Illinois University, was urged by his wife Judy to become an Advocate Big Brother. James' charge was Stevie Fielding, the son of a woman who had given him to her new husband's mother to be raised. While building a friendship with the boy, James often watched helplessly as Stevie spurned his mother, fought with his half-sister Brenda, and languished in a challenging household. 'Stevie' is a powerful portrait of a troubled soul who winds up facing child molestation charges."@en
  • ""In 1995 director Steve James returned to rural southern Illinois to reconnect with Stevie Fielding, a troubled young boy he had been an 'Advocate Big Brother' to ten years earlier. He began a film, a search, to discover not only what had happened to Stevie over the past ten years but to understand the forces that had shaped his entire life. Part way through the filming, Stevie is arrested and charged with a serious crime that tears his family apart. What was to be a modest profile turns into an intimate four-and- a-half year chronicle of Stevie, his broken family, the criminal justice system and the filmmaker himself, as they all struggle with what Stevie has done and who he has become."--Www.imdb.com."
