Four high school seniors grapple with tragedy and a new understanding of how the world works against them as young women. Presented in a new 4K restoration, this award-winning Sundance darling and 90s indie landmark was co-written by actors Lily Taylor, Anna Grace, Bruklin Harris and Denise Casano in collaboration with first-time filmmaker Jim McKay (Our Song). Its story and insights remain as urgent as ever. The dynamic, all-female soundtrack features 1990s musical icons Queen Latifah, PJ Harvey, Roxanne Shante, Salt-N-Pepa, and more.
