She changes her name, her style, and quits school to be accepted in the gang, hoping that this will be a way to freedom. As she falls further under their gang lifestyle, she begins to make foolish choices that could impact her life forever. GIRLHOOD is an intimate portrait of female friendship and a compelling coming-of-age story. “Honest, empowering and electrifying. Bravo!” The Observer
