Adolescentes en sursis

Seeing all the big budget movies these days with almost no redeeming value whatsoever it's a delight to find a jewel like this just out of pure good fortune.

A movie made for TV, with Cuba Jr seemed at first a normal to mediocre movie about girls in a correctional facility, but what appeared to be a regular movie turn out to be wonderful because of the little details.

Cuba is great at showing as the good guy, this role suits him perfectly, it doesn't seem forced, the rest of the girls plays their part too, with impeccable acting. What stand out the most about this movie is it's kindness toward humanity, the good message that flows through the movie and don't come out forced, incredible so.

DeWanda Wise truly shines in this movie, it's character is by far the more complex in this movie, the direction and script also gave her a lot of freedom to express as a truly wonderful actress, the sad parts really made me cry and it's partly due to her wonderful work.

it's hard to find movies with a true heart these days, where violence and killing are glorified by Hollywood as trademarks of "entertainment". This movie is anti-violence on it's guts, beautifully shot, with very good timing and without being forced upon.

If you're in for a good movie about human mistakes and redemption (not religious) this movie IS for you.

Nicely done!

Now i'm thrilled, there is still plenty of good movies out there to watch and there is still good art to be found in the cinema industry.

A solid 8 out of 10.

DJ (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is a counselor who is trying to save some of girls at the youth correctional facility. He leads a group of girls volunteering to battle wildfires. The girls each have their own problems that they working through while some have problems with other girls in the facility.

The confrontations and the atmosphere inside are all well done. The acting is very good especially Q'orianka Kilcher (The New World) and DeWanda Wise. This is a very sincere Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie. It does get into slow melodrama territory sometimes.

I'm a Tough, cynical Old white man. But even in these horrible Trump times, This movie about essential goodness of young imprisoned minority girls Was heart warming.

I just watch this firelight TV series I LOVE THIS SHOW... It is very emotional but has a lot of good in it. I'm kinda experiencing the same thing but its my brother that is in jail.. I think this show is educational and moving.. I think this show will teach the youth. I wish this show was on when i was growing up. It shows that you are not alone no matter what and their our people that care. You have picked the best actor to fit the part of DJ, and the rest of the cast YOU GIRLS ROCK. Keep up the awesome work and making the youth of these years aware. Keep up the awesome work, I will be watching every show.. cant wait to see your girls put out that fire..... I love your show

The move has a lot of heart and is inspirational but more than anything, it has a place where minors who a troubled get to feel cared for and get to learn how they can make better decisions for their lives. A place where people in the same struggle can become friends and either choose to grow together or go down hill together. I think more places need institutions like these and programmes like these for the rehabilitation of troubles minors.

A character in the movie got caught stealing because her parents forgot to feed her, strung up on drugs, so she was starving and stole some food. They don't have it easy and a lot of criminal-ism begins like this. These programmes help people like her.

Gives them a chance to see that they have a life and a destiny and they can choose the life they want. In my opinion for some it was a safe haven. It has sad scenes but the plot was absolutely marvelous.
