| Description: |
Being born a girl means you are more likely to be subjected to violence, disease, poverty and disadvantage than any other group on Earth. In this DVD, we meet 14-year-old Kimsey from Cambodia, forced to sell her virginity at 12; Aziza from Afghanistan, who will be shot if she goes to school; Breani, a teen living in a ghetto of NYC and dreaming of stardom; Katie from Australia, who is recovering from a suicide attempt; Habiba from Cameroon, betrothed to a man 20 years her senior; and Manu from Papua New Guinea, about to become a mother at 14 following her first sexual encounter. As they come of age in the way their culture dictates, we see remarkable heart-warming stories of resilience, bravery and humor. Subtitles provided for foreign dialogue. Can be viewed as a documentary (87 min.) or in focused segments: Aziza, Afghanistan - education (10 min.); Breani, USA - cyber safety (12 min.); Habiba, Cameroon - early marriage (10 min.); Katie, Australia - mental health (10 min.); Kimsey, Cambodia - violence (11 min.); Munu, Papua New Guinea - family planning (12 min.).
