Full Plot Details

Very Young Girls, whose title reflects the fact that in the United States the average age of entry into prostitution is just thirteen. The film takes us into the work of a former sexually exploited youth-turned-activist named Rachel Lloyd, who started the New York City organization GEMS (Girls Educational and Mentoring Services) to help victimized young women escape their pimps and find another way of life. We meet teen aged girls at different stages of this transition. Some have been so psychologically manipulated by their pimps that they feel compelled to return. Others have successfully broken with their pasts. As we come to know these girls better, they emerge as well-rounded individuals full of unexpected laughter and insight. One chilling element the film uncovers is a videotape - confiscated by police - of two pimps recording their activities with the intent of making a reality television show. Later we see Lloyd get recognized for her work at a human rights awards ceremony shortly after the song "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" wins an Academy Award.

Movie Reviews

New York Times - 10/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisAdopting a confessional, direct-to-camera interview style for most of its running time, this unvarnished vérité documentary about teenage prostitutes in New York City resolutely resists the urge to dramatize. The heartbreaking stories are drama enough.
About.com - 7/10 by Jennifer MerinThe film brings the painful plight of teenage prostitutes to light, refrains from inflicting any degree of blame or shame on them and points to ways they can reclaim their lives.
Spirituality and Practice - 6/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn edifying documentary about prostitutes who want to leave "the life" behind.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 5/10 by Donald J. LevitEven with too many annoying bleeped names and obscenities, in their own ways and words, these girls honestly tell their backstories that are individual yet of a piece.
User Review - 10/10 by OctavianShould be mandatory viewing for everyone. Let me just quibble with the synopsis: saying "underage prostitution" makes it sound like underage prostitution is a subset of prostitution when, in fact, the average age of entry into prostitution in the United States is thirteen, so it is, in practice, impossible to separate out some kind of safe, consent-filled "adult prostitution". Every sex worker should be assumed to be a victim of human trafficking and sexual, physical, and emotional abuse until proven otherwise. This is a film about prostitution, period.
User Review - 10/10 by Krys MSteve Harvey recently said on his morning show that he didn't understand why men raped young girls when they could pay for sex. i'd love for him to watch this film.
User Review - 10/10 by Terri VSo sad to see all these girls suckered into prostitution!!
User Review - 10/10 by Rachel GWay too much. This is one of the biggest explanations for the importance of love from proper family in a young woman's life one might ever see. What it takes to 'turn a woman out' is much too easy and only possible because of something that she is not getting at home....very sad.
User Review - 10/10 by Melanie SExcellent, more people need to be aware of this horrid epidimic that plagues girls and families all across the country.
User Review - 10/10 by Tracy MWhat an eye opening documentary! I had seen this documentary earlier tonight on SHOwtime channel.
