MARIA DUARTE recommends a tale of marginalised young black women seeking freedom

Girlhood (15), directed by Celine Sciamma

THIS beautifully observed drama about disenfranchised youth in the outskirts of Paris is a classic coming-of-age story.

Its powerful protagonist is Marieme (Karidja Toure) who, in a bid to escape the realities of a violent home life and lack of education prospects, joins a girl gang who hang out in shopping centres, where they take no prisoners.
