Die andere Mutter (1995)
Die weiße Sozialarbeiterin Margaret Lewin nimmt das farbige Crack-Baby Isaiah in ihre Obhut. Vier Jahre später fordert die leibliche Mutter nach einer Drogenentziehung ihr Kind zurück. In einem aufsehenerregenden Prozeß kämpfen die zwei unterschiedlichen Frauen nicht nur um ihr Recht, sondern auch um das Schicksal des kleine Isaiah. Welchen Verlust wird der Junge besser verkraften? Das Leben ohne seine leibliche Mutter oder die Trennung von Margaret, seiner einzigen Bezugsperson. Und kann ein Gericht entscheiden, wer von beiden die bessere Mutter ist?
