Girls Don't Cry

Six girls from six countries share their yearning for self-determined lives, their desire to love freely without paternalism, as equals and without external control over their own bodies. We witness their defiance and self-confidence, their strength in facing societal pressure, prejudice, and the violence that shapes their lives. Six portraits converge into a tender yet gripping, devastating and ultimately inspiring glimpse into the reality of women's lives. The documentary by German director Sigrid Klausmann has won numerous international awards.
