Faded. Girls and binge drinking
Description
Filmed in the world of non-stop parties and all-night martinis, Faded navigates the complicated lives of four girls who must grapple with their binge drinking problems before it's too late. The film profiles four young women, ages 14 to 22, as they battle the heart-break and confusion of growing up in a culture that romanticizes alcohol. With the eye of a reporter, the curiosity of an anthropologist, and the wounded heart of a teenager, award-winning filmmaker Janet McIntyre embeds herself in these girls' lives, launching a five-year mission to bring their stories to light. From high school classrooms to underground college parties, from roller derby rinks to erotic bakeries, the filmmaker explores the vibrant, dynamic, and scary life of a 21st century girl. This full-length version contains strong language and adult scenarios that may not be suitable for all audiences.
