Rose Byrne Stars in 'Tow,' a True Underdog Story About an Unhoused Woman's Fight for Her Car
The film 'Tow,' directed by Stephanie Laing, features Rose Byrne as Amanda Ogle, an unhoused woman battling a towing company to reclaim her car. Ogle, who had been living in her car while trying to maintain sobriety and connect with her daughter, secured a vet tech certification and a new job. However, her car was towed after being found abandoned by the police. The towing company demanded over $260 in fees, which Ogle could not afford. This led her to a prolonged legal struggle, seeking assistance from city offices and eventually a young lawyer named Kevin (Dominic Sessa). During this period, Ogle resided in a shelter run by Barbara (Octavia Spencer) and interacted with other residents like Nova (Demi Lovato), Denise (Ariana DeBose), and Jocelyn (Lea DeLaria). The Seattle newspaper picked up Ogle's story, garnering public support for her cause. The legal battle culminated in court, where the total fees for her 1991 Toyota Camry had escalated to over $21,000.
