KUKI 2016

TS 06 Teenage Riot! Program for Teens aged 16+


Our young heroines are confronted with a decision—to yield to fate or resist it. Stereotypes and cliché have no place in these films. Whether with violence or prudence, revenge or escape—each individual reacts differently to extreme situations. Only one rule is holy: You don’t bail out on your friends.
