Catherine Hardwicke is an iconic American filmmaker best known for capturing the reality of the teenage experience on screen - from Twilight to Lords of Dogtown.
Today we're reflecting on the cultural impact of Catherine's directorial debut "Thirteen" -- which was released over twenty years ago in 2003.
Co-written with Nikki Reed, "Thirteen" is a poignant and raw portrayal of adolescence, focusing on the turbulent life of a thirteen-year-old girl named Tracy. The film delves into Tracy's descent into rebellion and self-destructive behavior after she befriends a troubled peer, exploring themes of peer pressure, family dysfunction, and the search for identity in the midst of adolescence.
