DESCRIPTION:Troop 1500 (Screening at 3:30pm)\nAt Hilltop Prison in Gatesville, Texas, a 
 unique Girl Scout troop — Troop 1500 — unites daughters with mothers 
 who are serving time for serious crimes, giving them a chance to rebuild 
 their broken bonds. Facing long sentences from the courts, the mothers 
 struggle to mend their fractured relationships with their daughters.\n\nOff 
 and Running  (Screening at 4:30pm)\nWith white Jewish lesbians for parents 
 and two adopted brothers — one mixed-race and one Korean — Brooklyn 
 teenager Avery grew up in a unique and loving household. But when her 
 curiosity about her African American roots grows, she decides to contact 
 her birth mother. This choice propels Avery into her own complicated 
 exploration of race, identity, and family that threatens to distance her 
 from the parents she’s always known.\n\nBronx Princess (Screening at 
 6:00pm)\nRocky Otoo is the Bronx-bred teenage daughter of Ghanaian parents, 
 and she's no pushover. She is a sassy high-achiever bound for college. With 
 freedom in sight, Rocky rebels against her mother's rules. When their 
 relationship reaches a breaking point, Rocky flees to her father, a chief 
 in Ghana. What follows is captured in Bronx Princess, a tumultuous 
 coming-of-age story set in a homeland both familiar and strange. Her 
 precocious — and very American — ideas of a successful, independent 
 life conflict with her father's traditional African values. Reconciling her 
 dual legacies becomes an unexpected chapter in this unforgettable young 
 woman's education.\n\nShadya (Screening at 6:30pm)\nLike many 17-year-old 
 girls, Shadya Zoabi enjoys listening to music and hanging out with her 
 friends. But unlike most other girls, Shadya is also a world champion in 
 karate, a feminist in a male-dominated culture, and a Muslim Arab living in 
 Israel. Depicting a universal conflict between tradition and modernity, 
 Shadya is the coming-of-age story of a young Muslim woman who desires to 
 succeed on her own terms while staying committed to life within her 
 community.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/07/20/18654368.php
