Girl trouble girls tell the truth about the juvenile justice system

Provides an intimate look at the personal stories of three teenage girls entangled in San Francisco's juvenile justice system. These girls, and many like them, aren't just at-risk, they are in deep trouble. Bay Area filmmakers Lexi Leban and Lidia Szajko document the girls' remarkable successes and heartbreaking setbacks over a four-year period--their daily struggles with poverty, violence, public defenders and homelessness -- and expose a system that fails to end the cycle of incarceration.

  • "Documentaire. Ce documentaire raconte l'histoire de Shangra, Stephanie et Sheila, trois adolescentes ayant eu des démêlés avec la justice. La réalisatrice a voulu ouvrir une fenêtre sur l'échec du système judiciaire et carcéral à briser le cycle du crime, de la pauvreté et des abus, dont ces jeunes femmes sont souvent victimes. Dans l'état actuel ce système consume ces jeunes femmes plutôt que de les aider. Deux programmes ont été mis sur pied : "The Walden House SisterKin Project" et "The Center for Young Women's Development's Sisters Rising Internship Program", qui aident ces adolescentes à réintégrer la société, à réapprendre l'estime d'elles-mêmes tout en développant chez-elles l'esprit et la vie en communauté. Avec Shangra Rogers, Stephanie, Sheila Pasene, Lateefah Simon, Jean Amabile, Ira Barg, Patti Lee, Julie Posadas Guzman, Rani Singh. Le DVD contient une section DVD-ROM (guide d'enseignement)."
