Bande de filles (Girlhood)

The film shows a strong young woman staying hopeful in an otherwise hopeless situation. Even though her circumstances such as poverty and living in a violent environment force her to make poor decisions, she stays true to herself and never loses the sense of what is right and what is wrong. She overcomes her personal struggles to find her place in life. 
This film also shows the problems of many minorities around the world and supports the process of liberation.
