| Summary: | This documentary provides an intimate look at the compelling personal stories of three teenage girls entangled in San Franciscos juvenile justice system. These girls, and many like them, arent 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. Grand Saline, Texas was a sleepy, unremarkable town--until a white preacher lithimself on fire to protest the town's racism in 2014. |
