About the Film
What 20
years ago was a positive look at four African American
teenage girls growing up in an urban housing project
in East Dallas, today remains an uplifting film that
goes beyond cultural stereotypes.
During a Dallas Girl's Club meeting, the program
director invites the girls to a gala dinner to meet
important black women who have "achieved something"
emphasizing to the girls that it is important to be
exposed to activities outside the projects.
The film captures the energy, determination, and
creativity of the four friends and reminds the audience
that the hopes and dreams of these girls, like those
of many teenagers, may come true.
A film to inspire girls from all backgrounds and
ethnicities. |
