Girls Don't Cry

Summary

Girls Don't Cry

What does it mean to be a girl in the world today? How do they fare in a restrictive world? The documentary "Girl's Don't Cry" is about the longing of six girls from six countries, longing for a selfdetermined life in freedom, their desire to fall in love, without paternalism, without others having power over their bodies, with equal rights.We see Nancy, Sheelan, Selenna, Nina, Paige and Sinai deal with the crisis of puberty, their self-confident decisions in difficult situations, their courageous fight against brutal traditions such as circumcision, against social constraints and pressure, against beauty mania and prejudice. Being young and cool, even in the face of trauma and loss.

The German Board of Film Recommendation has rated the film as “highly recommended”.
