At nine and ten, they are skipping, grinning little girls--rough and ready. By 15, they are sullen, submissive, quiet; convinced they're awkward, ugly and fat. What happens to our girls? RUN LIKE A GIRL explores how teenage athletes try to find a balance between strength and femininity within a society where girls are expected to be docile, delicate and compliant.
Premiere: PBS, November 1999
"The girls play hard and talk with great candor....There isn't a single statistic, nor a single expert's psycho-babble."
- Atlanta Constitution
"The girls open up to the camera. It's apparent...how much they all share: the sense of wonderment at the rapid changes in their bodies, and simultaneously, their ambivalence...the socialization rituals... chronic dissatisfaction with their appearance...and amazing levels of endurance."
- Boston Globe
