GOING ON 13 is a documentary that explores the lives of four urban pre-teen girls of color on the cusp of adolescence. Shot over four years, the film follows each girl: from elementary to middle school, from Saturday morning cartoons to internet chat rooms, and from Bible Study to sex education. This truthful and poignant narrative shows the girls grappling with the realities of racism, poverty, identity, and inadequate schooling, as they transition from little girls to young women.
