Very Young Girls examines the exploitation of underage girls who are forced, bullied and coerced into prostitution. Most girls start between the ages of twelve and fourteen and are usually taken in by pimps who present themselves as both boyfriends and father figures, only to turn the girls out on the street a week or two after meeting them. David Schisgall's documentary is clearly swimming in dark waters, and you'd be forgiven for not rushing to watch a movie about such depressing subject matter. But skipping this film for CSI reruns would be a big mistake.

 
A last minute post for those of you who need some last minute goodies for your Valentine. Go to St. Luke's School today and not only will you be able to stock up on homemade, sugary goodness, but you'll be helping to provide meals, a safe place to go after school and some basic necessities for children who are orphans due to AIDS in Ilinge, South Africa.
