"5 Girls"

Come view an excerpt from "5 Girls," a documentary film about 5 young women, including one who is a Stanford freshman, Haibinh Nguyen Haibinh will be at the screening to talk about her experiences. Also attending will be Don Young of National Asian American Telecommunications Association (NAATA) which is responsible for producing and distributing many Asian / Asian American videos & films.

"5 Girls" will premiere nationally on PBS on October 2 , 2001. Directed by Maria Finitzo/Kartemquin Films.

The world is full of smart, resilient girls, but we don't often hear about them. "5 Girls" shows girls as the heroes of their own lives. Shot over three years, the documentary tracks the lives of Corrie, Toby, Amber, Aisha and Haibinh as they move through their tumultuous teenage years. With Chicago as its backdrop, everything from hairstyles to first loves to poverty and dealing with being an immigrant comes to the fore in this remarkable, tightly woven story.
