A heartbreaking story about the abuse and mistreatment of young men of color in a reform school
Young Girl Written, composed, and produced by Herschel Dwellingham Presented by Frank Lynch courtesy of Grass of Home Productions and Publishing (BMI).

Told solely from the subjective perspective of the main character and a fellow boarder he befriends at the school.
Some early scenes felt a bit contrived and forced with this technique, the dialogue never quite flowing
Watching it without subtitles at the Stockholm Film Festival was also a challenge, as it was very difficult to understand the dialogue in some scenes.

Despite the debates about the stylistic choices, the story is still quite captivating, but overall it could have been even more so with a more traditional narrative.
