Watch White Girl

In this controversial independent film, a young woman in New York begins a romance with a drug dealer and then finds herself in legal and financial trouble when her life of petty crime and unrestrained pursuit of pleasure begins to fall apart. Marketed as a no-hold-barred look at the seedier side of life, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2016. It was written and directed by Elizabeth Wood based on Wood's own experiences living in New York. It was released in theaters in September 2016, where it earned just $200,000 on a production budget of $700,000.
