Description

Seventeen-year-old poet Truth Bangura begins senior year unsure of life after graduation, but when she learns she's pregnant by her ex-boyfriend, she makes one decision she is sure about — an abortion.

When Truth performs a poem about her decision and her emotionally turbulent home life, the performance is recorded and posted online for everyone to see — including her mother.
