Tow
Directed by Stephanie Laing
Produced by The Exchange, Cake or Death Pictures
A grounded, character-driven drama about homelessness and systemic injustice that centers one woman's dignified struggle against bureaucratic indifference.
Amanda Ogle is a woman living in her aging Toyota Camry on the streets of Seattle. When her car is stolen and impounded, she’s thrust into a relentless legal battle against an indifferent system. What begins as a fight to reclaim her car evolves into a deeply human story of resilience, dignity, and the power of one woman’s voice in the face of systemic failure.
