2016 Festival | The Scar
2016 Festival | The Scar PBS Short Film Festival
Confined by the oppressive summer heat, a single-minded mother, and the limits of girlhood, a young girl's outing to the corner store stirs an unexpected self-realization. THE SCAR is a narrative short that begs the question: Amongst the clatter of a world that tells little girls who and how to be in the world, can we entrust them to make their own decisions, even if they may be the 'wrong' ones?
