Our take

Taking us through the streets of Skid Row with a tough but essential immediacy, Game Girls highlights the interlocking cycles of poverty, racism and incarceration in modern America. Constructed using drama-therapy workshops, this immersive doc captures the tug-of-war of lives at the edge of society.
