"Harris offers an adrenaline rush of energy and talent. Her artfully stylized, explosively funny film also manages to be deeply moving without jerking easy tears."
—Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Brash 17-year-old Brooklynite Chantel (the commanding, charismatic Johnson) is a smart, sassy high-school student from the projects who’s determined to go to college and become a doctor—until her plans get derailed. Leslie Harris’ explosively entertaining indie drama—which won a Special Jury Prize at Sundance—is a groundbreaking, streetwise look at the experiences of inner-city black females.
