Women’s Center: Final Film Series of the Semester, “Very Young Girls” (4/22-4/26)
Please join the Women’s Center for our final film series of the semester. We will show Very Young Girls in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Very Young Girls is an exposé of the commercial sexual exploitation of girls in New York City as they are sold on the streets by pimps and treated as adult criminals by police. The film follows barely adolescent girls in real time, using vérité and intimate interviews with them, documenting their struggles and triumphs as they seek to exit the commercial sex industry. The film also uses startling footage shot by pimps themselves, giving a rare glimpse into how the cycle of exploitation begins for many women.
