Skater Girl – Sisterhood, Rebelliousness, Social Castes, and Skateboarding
Skater Girl is a movie on Netflix about Prerna (Rachel Sanchita Gupta), a young girl from a poor family in rural India. She can’t attend school because her family doesn’t have the funds to buy her a new uniform, and she has outgrown her old one. She is a good kid, a protective sister to her little brother, and she tries to be a responsible daughter. One day, a young British woman named Jessica (Amy Maghera) enters her town and changes her life forever. By a series of circumstances and chance, Jessica introduces skateboarding to Prerna’s life, as well as all the lives of the other village kids.
This movie is interesting in that there are actually two equal protagonists in the movie. The movie shifts from focusing on Prerna to Jessica, then back to Prerna towards the end. Both characters were fantastic.

Reclaiming Her Body: "Jennifer’s Body" & Why We Need Diverse Storytellers
The height of subversive horror cinema is Jennifer’s Body. No, I will never budge on that. Yes, Cabin in The Woods is funny, Scream is very well made, and the Scary Movie franchise is …. there. But nothing is quite as satisfying as watching the teenage succubus that is Jennifer Check rip apart boys. In the post #metoo era where the industry is far from changed, watching revenge flicks like these is probably one of the most cathartic experiences due to the slow-moving progress being made.
