A pair of naïve young girls learn that even the most insignificant actions can have lasting consequences in this music-driven take on teen culture starring
Anne Hathaway and
Bijou Phillips and directed by two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker
Barbara Kopple. Influenced by the
hip-hop thug lifestyle and seeking to explore life outside of their insulated, culturally homogenized suburb, pretty young teenagers
Allison (
Hathaway) and
Emily (
Phillips) set their sights on East L.A. to experience the "gangsta" lifestyle firsthand. By the time the pair meet some true-life Latino gang-bangers and realize just how far out of their element they really are, it may already be too late to turn back.
