Three teenage girls struggle to survive in the urban jungle of their hardscrabble New Jersey neighborhood in this fact-inspired independent
drama.
Oz (
Judy Marte) is an unapologetically tough 17-year-old who oversees a team of drug dealers, but beneath her hard shell is a soft heart as she cares for her younger brother who is mentally challenged (
Dominic Colón).
Suzette (
Anny Mariano) is 15, and her mother is determined that her daughter is going to make something of herself -- which makes matters all the worse for
Suzette when her boyfriend gets her pregnant then refuses to take his share of the responsibilities. And
Marison (
Paola Mendoza) is a young single mother who is trying to hold on to custody of her daughter while fighting a losing battle with drug addiction.
On the Outs received its world premiere at the
2004 Toronto International Film Festival.
