The death of a friend galvanizes three high school young women to reassess their friendship and their lives.

Mid-1990s, New York City. Patti, Angela, Emma and Nikki are high school seniors and best friends preparing for life beyond graduation. Their dreams for the future differ greatly – Angela wants to become a poet, Emma and Nikki
have are heading for college, and Patti is a young mother looking for stability in her kid’s life – but the four bright, young women are steadfastly loyal to each other in a way only teenagers know how to be. Their lives are then
completely upended when, after being sexually assaulted, Nikki unexpectedly commits suicide. Grieving, angry and forced to return to daily life without satisfying recourse for their feelings, the girls come to realize a newfound understanding about the patriarchal world in which they live.

Featuring Lili Taylor, Bruklin Harris, Anna Grace along with recent Academy Award-nominee Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (King Richard), this 1996 award winning Sundance indie was co-written by the lead actors in collaboration with filmmaker Jim McKay, lending “a welcome little gust of teen-age realism” (The New York Times) to the film’s coming-of-age narrative. One of the first films of its kind to frankly address sexual violence as women experience it, GIRLS TOWN continues to be relevant in a post-#MeToo world. An energetic, all-female soundtrack featuring 1990s musical icons – Queen Latifah, PJ Harvey, Roxanne Shante, Salt-N-Pepa, and others – underscore the films timeless message of empowerment. -FILM MOVEMENT
