Girl warriors. Brilliant minds and tenacious spirits. Found family and fighting for what you believe in. Told with humor, sisterhood, and love, THE REBEL GIRLS is also a story of hope and victory. While the film is set in 1963, it is not only a historical drama. Its primary theme is a contemporary one -- Never quit. You will achieve your dreams if you don't give up on them.

Americus, Georgia, 1963. On a hot, muggy day, activists, including 500 children, marched to the Martin Theater to sit on the main floor (instead of the Colored balcony). The children were arrested and thrown into local jails. Then, in the middle of the night, dozens of girls were abducted and held captive in a Civil War era stockade, originally built to house captured Union soldiers in the 1860s.

For nearly sixty days, they were held in the stockade without ever being charged with a crime. Their parents were told they were “lost in the system.” Despite being fed half-raw meat, being forced to use a broken toilet, sleeping on a concrete floor, and drinking rust-filled water, the GIRLS SURVIVED! With the gifts of creative and magical thinking, they were able to disappear into a world of fantasy to preserve their spirits and fight another day.

The Rebel Girls is written, directed and produced by Felicia D. Henderson (The Punisher, Empire, Soul Food).
