~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A fine documentary about "at risk" kids - Juvenile delinquent stereotypes are usefully demolished while the lack of supportive environs and services for such girls becomes painfully clear. Fast-moving, involving item is a natural for public TV slots and educational outreach.

Among other things, Lexi Leban and Lidia Szajko's grueling documentary Girl Trouble (http://www.criticalimages.org) - chronicling the plight of girls in San Francisco's juvenile justice system does an excellent job of illustrating the tremendous importance of children having positive role models... 3 1/2 Stars, Highly Recommended.

Greetings,

We are filmmakers writing to let you know about an important documentary that we made about girls in the juvenile justice system that helps schools, teachers and community organizations generate dialogue about crime, punishment, gender, economics and race in their classrooms and communities.

Girl Trouble (http://www.criticalimages.org) is an award-winning documentary produced by Critical Images Inc., featured on the PBS Nationally-Acclaimed Series: Independent Lens. It is an intimate look at the compelling personal stories of three teenagers entangled in San Francisco's juvenile justice system. The film documents the girls' remarkable successes and heartbreaking setbacks over a four-year period- their daily struggles with poverty, violence, public defenders and homelessness, and exposes a system that fails to end the cycle ofincarceration.

More than 300 academic institutions and community organizations have added the film to their collections -- now, we are offering it to you. To purchase the film click the following link: http://www.criticalimages.org or call Tel: 888-367-9154

Thanks very much for your time and attention.

Lexi Leban and Lidia Szajko, Director/Producers
