NYC PREMIERE Three teenagers in America’s Bible Belt navigate unexpected pregnancies, new motherhood, and the daunting challenge of growing up while raising a child. With histories marked by poverty, abuse, addiction, and family instability, they struggle to finish school, find work, and build independent lives, often confronting the same hardships that shaped their childhoods. Told with intimacy and compassion, the film offers a timely, deeply human look at the implications of being denied reproductive choice. - Karen McMullen
