Teen pregnancy. Reel stories, real life

Description

Being a teenager is difficult enough. Try being a parent at the same time! This program follows the stories of three young women with unplanned pregnancies-15-year-old Valerie, 17-year-old Karina, and 18-year-old Sara. The program also presents another couple, Amanda and Tomas, who have chosen abstinence. In three segments, the teens are interviewed over the course of their pregnancies and after they have become mothers. In this emotional roller-coaster, labor might be the least of their difficulties as Karina and Sara's boyfriends eventually walk out, Sara decides to put her baby up for adoption, and none of the young women return to school.
