“America” (9 p.m., Lifetime): The nation’s flawed system of foster care provides

“America” (9 p.m., Lifetime): The nation’s flawed system of foster care provides the backdrop for a new Lifetime movie, “America,” starring Rosie O’Donnell. Based on E.R. Frank’s book of the same name, the film centers on 17-year-old America, a withdrawn and troubled boy who has been in foster care since infancy (played by newcomer Philip Johnson). He’s the newest patient of Dr. Maureen Brennan (O’Donnell), who’s a therapist at a residential treatment facility for foster kids on the cusp of “aging out” of the system. Ruby Dee plays the elderly nanny to the foster family with whom America found a brief measure of stability as a child. But now, after years in cruel limbo, a tormented, suicidal America is under the care of Brennan, whose support gives him a last chance to reclaim his life.
