Girlhood

Girlhood is a 2014 French coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Céline Sciamma. The plot focuses on the life of Marieme, a teenage girl who lives in a rough neighbourhood on the outskirts of Paris. The film discusses and challenges conceptions of race, gender and class; Sciamma's goal was to capture the stories of Black teenagers, characters she claims are generally underdeveloped in French films.
