“Already Gone” — a new film that tells the story of two teenagers who hit the road to escape a bad situation in New York City — reminded Vernon Green Jr., a Virginia man who runs a charity mentoring at-risk kids, of his own childhood growing up in foster care with an abusive father. For Jim Klock, a former Virginia policeman who made it big as an actor and served as one of the film’s executive producers, it recalled interactions he had as a cop with children in the “project section of the D.C. area.”
And for Keanu Reeves, the other executive producer, it felt like “a story that’s true.”
