Paula Jones

Gang Girls Directed by Paula Jones. Produced by Claudette Hauiti. This Qantas Media Award winning television documentary in New Zealand, Gang Girls tells the story of seven women from three of New Zealand s most notorious gangs. This is the first time that gang women in New Zealand have told their very personal stories with honesty and passion that will intrigue and fascinate, horrify and humble the most hardened of hearts. Our women tell of journeys that span unsettled childhoods where they experienced rampant abuse, living on the streets, joining the gangs and life for them today. For many of our women their journey starts with their childhood and these stories of the sense of loss and gain, extreme violence and brutality, strength, loyalty and power and even at times humour, will leave the viewer with a better understanding of our women and all women like them, women who got involved in gangs, how they lived the gang life and how eventually some of them left the gangs. A highly emotional expose of their stories, struggles, histories, courage and strengths. This documentary is a social commentary on New Zealand society.

Lee Daniels s PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL PUSH BY SAPPHIRE is a vibrant, honest and resoundingly hopeful film about the human capacity to grow and overcome. Set in Harlem in 1987, it is the story of Claireece Precious Jones (Gabourey Sidibe), a sixteen year old African American girl born into a life no one would want. She s pregnant for the second time by her absent father; at home, she must wait hand and foot on her mother (Mo Nique), a poisonously angry woman who abuses her emotionally and physically. School is a place of chaos, and Precious has reached the ninth grade with good marks and an awful secret: she can neither read nor write. Precious may sometimes be down, but she is never out. Beneath her impassive expression is a watchful, curious young woman with an inchoate but unshakeable sense that other possibilities exist for her. Threatened with expulsion, Precious is offered the chance to transfer to an alternative school, Each One/Teach One. Precious doesn t know the meaning of alternative, but her instincts tell her this is the chance she has been waiting for. In the literacy workshop taught by the patient yet firm Ms. Rain (Paula Patton), Precious begins a journey that will lead her from darkness, pain and powerlessness to light, love and self determination.
