Abstract:
"In the past decade, the San Francisco youth crime rate declined, the number of girls in the juvenile justice system more than doubled. This film follows four years in the lives of three teenage girls caught up in San Francisco's juvenile justice system."--Title screens. This documentary tells the compelling stories of Stephanie, Shangra, and Sheila, opening a window onto the juvenile justice system, exposing its failure to break the cycle of poverty, crime, and incarceration that consumes vulnerable young women. Two programs are hightlighted: The Walden House SisterKin Project and The Center for Young Women's Development's Sisters Rising internship program, for pushing the boundaries when it comes to helping girls in the system, addressing issues like sexual abuse, self-esteem, and community as part of the healing process for young women.
