Go Straight Home

About This Movie

Go Straight Home is a documentary that delves into the harsh realities faced by young girls in Dhaka, particularly through the lens of Reba, a 14-year-old navigating the treacherous landscape of street harassment. The film captures a raw, unfiltered atmosphere that's hauntingly real. You feel the pressure of societal expectations and the looming threat of early marriage, especially as you see how four of Reba's classmates have already been forced into such situations. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the emotional weight of each moment. The performances, mostly by non-professionals, lend an authenticity that's hard to shake off. It’s a heavy watch, but that’s what makes it distinctive in its portrayal of everyday struggles for girls in Bangladesh.
