NEW DOCS

This film goes through four tumultuous years in the life of an idealistic high school student in Lubbock, Texas. Watch as she comes to question and resist the religious and political conservatism inculcated by her concerned, loving parents and overweening pastor, and fights for causes (sex education, the rights of a gay-straight alliance) against complacent peers and the entrenched power of co-opting politicians.  DLP
