Shot over 5 years "Small Town Girl" is a moving portrait of three British girls growing from childhood into adolescence. Joanne and Charlotte live in a small racially divided town, in the north of England and face the daily harsh reality of the high tension between the Muslim Asian and white population. For Sian in the south-west, the only attraction seems to be boys and their cars, and alcohol and drugs are hard to resist. The girls face the problems of parents, relationships and sex and their behaviour changes in surprising, humorous and sometimes tragic ways.
