I kind of agree, even thought it was good. It was really, really depressing. See more 06/29/2010 A wonderful documentary. Incredibly compelling and eye opening. See more 06/28/2010 This documentary shocks you at what is going on in some teenagers' lives as it follows two girls from Baltimore in their struggle through the justice system and transition into the real world and adulthood. The footage is very real as it explores juvenile delinquency along with its causes and solutions, both good and bad. Certain to cause wonder and worry. See more 04/19/2010 A look at the lives of two girls in the juvenile justice system in Baltimore. Very much worth a watch. See more 10/22/2009 Girlhood is an interesting documentary examining the criminal justice system when it comes to young girls. The film has no opinion towards whether the system works or it doesn’t. Rather it presents two examples and allows the audience to decide. The subjects of the documentary are two teenage girls, Megan and Shanae, both who committed acts of violence and were sent to a juvenile detention center. The film chronicles their stay there and release back into the real world. Garbus does an amazing job of filming this movie with out terribly manipulating the girls lives into something they’re not. The two girls lives so greatly contrast which make the movie so interesting because you sympathize with them along with watching in curiosity because they are such mysteries. You are hoping for the best in both of them but can not even guess how it will turn out. It is a compelling documentary that brings a new meaning to girlhood. See more Read all reviews
