Fierce and uncompromising, Bellyfruit tackles teen pregnancy by first time director Kerri Lee Green. Inspired by real-life accounts of teen mothers, it is a fast- paced trilogy that interweaves the story of three teen-age girls; living in a whirlwind of drugs, violence, sex and motherhood, these heroines bravely navigate their way through this modern urban chaos. Bellyfruit is a strikingly honest, unexpected ride through today's culture. Bellyfruit began as a play and had its world premiere at LAIFF.
