    Where to Watch

A young girl with a background of urban poverty and juvenile crime, attempts to become a fashion model. The hypocrisy and double standards of society are juxtaposed against the confusion and frustration she feels as she struggles to become part of a community that has no place for her.

Excellent Australian drama about a juvenile delinquent (Mann) who tries to straighten out her life after a jail term; however, old friends and bad cops won't let her. This grim picture is held together by the force of Mann's performance (which earned the Australian Film Institute Best Actress Award).
