Towelhead

Coming of age is difficult for anyone. In Towelhead, we see that it is especially difficult for a 13 year old girl who's parents are divorced, racist, sexist and violent. Thanks to a creepy neighbor she learns too much about sex, too soon. Thanks to a kind neighbor she finds a safe haven. Brazen and graphic, this is a tough look at a difficult situation.
