2010 Emmy Award Winner! The teenage girls of Warrenville correctional facility are not your average delinquents. Having "graduated" from juvie to prison, these are the kids most likely to remain in the correctional system their whole lives. They are also some of the sharpest and most irrepressible young women you'll meet. When the girls of this heartland prison are given a most unlikely shot at redemption— the chance to write and stage a musical based on their lives— they must re-live their crimes, reclaim their humanity, and take a first step toward breaking free of the prison system.
Given unprecedented access to this juvenile facility by the State of Illinois, the powerful characters of GIRLS ON THE WALL will surprise you with their candor, intimacy, and unexpected sense of humor. Together, they give us a visceral understanding of how a kid ends up in prison... and how their stories might start to lead them out.
