What’s It All About? Inspired by the best-selling non-fiction book by Dr. Mary Pipher, Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls, this film follows the story of two mothers who find themselves faced with the difficulties of raising their teen daughters — one struggling with dating abuse and the other acting out with rebellious behaviors.
In Reviving Ophelia, sisters Marie (Kaczmarek) and Le Ann (Dickens) have always leaned on one another through life’s challenges but discover they need each other more than ever as they navigate the complexities of understanding and raising their teen daughters. Marie’s 17-year-old Elizabeth has the picture-perfect life, with a seemingly equally wonderful boyfriend. Meanwhile, Le Ann is raising 16-year-old Kelli as a single parent and finds it difficult to relate to the pressures her daughter is facing with boys, friends and school. When Kelli starts to suspect Elizabeth may be abused by her boyfriend, no one will believe her — especially Elizabeth. But when Elizabeth lands in the hospital, Kelli’s surprising insights help Marie give Elizabeth the courage to leave her violent relationship.
