Skip third period with the Dipz and bask in the glory of Dirty Girls (1996), a short film by Michael Lucid. This peek into peak 1990's teen culture explored the daily reality of "the dirty girls", a group of alternative students at Crossroads School in Santa Monica, California. Meet Amber, her sister Harper, Carly and Lauren and then see them through the lens of the other and often older students the filmmaker Michael included, who gave them the name dirty. The film was shown locally after it's completion, and some of the students interviewed expressed regret at how they came across in the film, with one even apologizing to the girls for her comments. A cult classic document of girl culture well-loved by many, the Dirty Girls story is both nostalgic and reveals some dark realities. Several follow-up shorts are available that check in with the girls over a decade later, and show how following your truth and challenging norms can lead to amazing, creative lives.
