    Of Hopscotch and Little Girls

    Marquise Lepage 1999 Canada Documentary color 52min French/English Betacam
    For girls around the world, hopscotch is universal. Girls also like to talk about school, what they want to do when they grow up, who will they marry. But through poverty, perversion, spite, or superstition, adults shatter those dreams by denying girls the right to an education, entering them into forced labor, subjecting them to multilation and sexual abuse.
