"What Alice Found" is a Sundance award-winning feature film released in theaters in the United States in 2003 and 2004. It is a small, finely wrought drama about a naïve young woman named Alice who gets lost on the American highway. Alice is a case study of a young woman that wants to break away from the unhappy life she leads in a New England town. Her pretext for leaving is going to join her best friend, who is away studying at a Miami university. Alice is the product of a single mothers home, one that is struggling to make ends meet, in sharp contrast with the life of ease her friend seems to inhabit. As the story progresses, Alice is rescued on the highway by a friendly couple in an RV. But as the miles pass, the couples motives come into question, and Alice is turned into a truck stop prostitute. The film is a complex story about mothers and daughters and the "haves and have-nots" in American society.
