15. Very Young Girls (2008 Documentary)I am going to come right out and be honest about the fact that this was not a well-made Documentary. The cinematography was shaky and the narrative did not flow well. That said, this was a very powerful and important movie and I am glad that someone made it.
The film centers around the organization Girls Education Monitoring Services (GEMS), a group which provides shelter and education to young women who have fallen prey to sexual exploitation.
I was touched by the stories that came from the group -- stories of triumph and of relapse, of degredation and acceptance. I was so touched, in fact, that the second the movie ended I e-mailed the organization to find out how I can help.
Final Grade: A (really, it deserves a B/B-, but it actually spurred me into action, which I can't really say about anything else in this dang project)
