Nobody's Child

When nobody could help her, she helped herself.

In this Emmy®-winning role, Marlo Thomas (That Girl) portrays Marie Balter. Abandoned as an infant, Balter endures abuse and neglect by her foster parents. Suffering from severe panic disorder, she is misdiagnosed with schizophrenia at age 17 and confined to a mental institution for 20 years.

A heart-wrenching true story about the survival of the human spirit, Nobody's Child follows Balter's struggle to overcome impossible odds and build a normal life. Her inspiring journey from tragedy to triumph takes her to the halls of Harvard University and back to the mental institution of her youth to champion the cause of the mentally ill.
