    • Synopsis
    • GAME GIRLS follows three women through America’s melting pot of dysfunction: Los Angeles’ skid row. They are estranged daughters, lost mothers, or both, trying to fight their way out of an intergenerational history of drugs, poverty and trauma. Their shared goal of reuniting with family is both ultimate promise and ultimate threat.

      The film dives deeply into the women’s fantasies – an important survival strategy on skid row – to create a collaborative portrait of lives below the radar of mainstream society.
