(Best Eyes)

Content: Thirteen-year-old Olivia, a biracial girl from an inner-city neighborhood, commutes to an elite private school where she struggles to fit in. At home, her mother urges her to present a version of herself that will be accepted— safe. But when Olivia forms a friendship with a bold, free-spirited girl from her neighborhood, she begins to glimpse another way of being, questioning the image she's been taught to uphold. Torn between who she is and who she’s expected to become, Olivia takes a quiet, courageous step toward self-acceptance.
