There are some 15,000 children in Arizona’s foster care system, but who are they?&nbsp; They Have Names follows five people and their families over the course of over a year as they navigate Arizona’s child welfare system.&nbsp; They Have Names is not a story about government officials and official statements. It is a documentary about the real lives of real people: children, parents, grandparents, and foster parents — and foster homes, group homes, courtrooms, and prison cells. Why do kids end up in the system? How are their cases managed? What happens when the kids grow up? These five individuals pose tough questions, and find the answers aren't always satisfying.
