A Girl's Life

A Girl's Life (Boston Local Spotlight) Documentary Dir/Prod: Powderhouse Production Note: A Girl's Life contains a scene in which epithets are bleeped out and a brief scene where a girl is being attacked by other girls. Discretion is advised. Join researcher and author Rachel Simmons as she examines the challenges facing young women as they surf the waves of 21st century adolescence. In this PBS documentary, A Girl's Life, takes viewers inside the lives of four teen girls as they face personal struggles with body image, cyber-bullying, gang violence, and education. Girls entering adulthood in the next decade will see more opportunities than today's women ever imagined. Will these girls stride confidently through newly opened doors, or are they destined to be stunted by societal messages that tell them females should be constantly agreeable, impossibly thin and sexy above all else? Rachel interviews parents, psychologists, teachers and social workers who are helping nurture girls into capable, resilient adults. With courage and determination, these girls reveal their hopes and dreams for a powerful future.
