2.17 min. | 4.0 user rating		 TOWELHEAD follows the dark, bold and shockingly funny life of Jasira, a 13-year-old Arab-American girl, as she navigates the confusing and frightening path of adolescence and her own sexual awakening. When Jasiras mother sends her to Houston to live with her strict Lebanese father, she quickly learns that her new neighbors find her and her father a curiosity. Worse, her budding womanhood makes her traditional and hot-tempered father uncomfortable. Lonely in this new environment, Jasira seeks friendship and acceptance from her neighbors Mr. Vuoso, an Army reservist, and Melina, a meddling but caring expectant mother. Thrown into an unfamiliar suburban world, Jasira must confront racism and hypocrisy at home and at school - and at the same time struggle to make sense of her raging hormones and newfound sexuality. Her boyfriend, Thomas, though a few years older, provides some comfort - but even that relationship causes problems when her father discovers that Thomas is black. Surrounded by adults who are just as lost as she is, Jasira yearns for understanding, even amidst often brutal acts.
1.53 min. | 5.0 user rating		 Baseado no provocante romance de Alicia Erian (definido como uma mescla de Beleza Americana e Lolita), Tabu narra a história de superação de Jasira, uma garota de 13 anos, entrando na adolescência. Durante a guerra do Iraque, ela vive com sua mãe americana eo futuro padrasto, que está encantado com a crescente maturidade da garota. Por isso, sua mãe a envia para o Texas com seu rígido pai Libanês. Este trata de educá-la nos valores tradicionais da cultura muçulmana. Entretanto, Jasira segue sem saber muito bem o que fazer com sua sexualidade quando nota como seu corpo afeta os homens que a rodeiam, em especial seu vizinho (Aaron Eckhart), um atraente e intolerante soldado da marinha.
