Girl Trouble "Opening Titles"

Girl Trouble is a powerful documentary that follows three teenage girls over a period of 5 years as they navigate the San Francisco Juvenile Justice System.
The girls of Girl Trouble are wrestling with poverty, domestic violence, drug addiction and homelessness in their lives. When we first see them in the film, they have already had contact with the juvenile justice system; dealing drugs, cutting school, assaulting others. In Girl Trouble, the girls tell their own stories. In entering their world, we begin to see through their eyes, and come to understand their solutions to the seemingly insurmountable challenges they face. Girl Trouble redefines success as the film traces the girls struggles to understand their lives, presenting hard-won insights rarely heard in public dialogue about girls in trouble.

Girl Trouble is a film that takes a personal look at the reasons why teenage girls are entering the juvenile justice system in greater numbers and at younger ages, and why current corrections strategies are failing to stop the cycle of incarceration. Girl Trouble depicts several bold and articulate young women who must negotiate a system that at the same time seeks to punish and rehabilitate those who come into contact with it.
