Four girls, four years, and the change of a lifetime. Meet Ariana, Isha, Rosie and Esme as they let go of childhood and fumble - or sprint - toward an uncertain future. This is puberty and for each of these girls of colour, it's a whirlwind of change and new choices. Without flinching, GOING ON 13 enters their world as they negotiate the precarious moments between being a little girl and becoming a young woman.
