An absolute masterpiece. This mini-series explores the harsh reality of bullying, incompetent and abusive authority figures (including teachers, parents, and older siblings,) and the impact it all has on school-aged girls in Jordan. The harsh realities painted are relatable to any girl who has been to school in Jordan. The show highlights the experiences of girls growing up in an extremely sexist and misogynistic society, where living in constant fear of violence or being killed by their own families is the norm. From being objectified and likened to a glass panel to being blamed for becoming the victim of sexual assault. A girl is called cheap for taking a selfie without a scarf. The label cheap is used frequently to belittle, dehumanize and objectify girls from a young age measuring them only by their willingness to explore their natural feminine and heterosexual feelings. This show does a brilliant job of showcasing the twisted priorities of Jordanian and Middle Eastern society when it comes to women's rights. The girls are broken at home and find themselves breaking each other in school before they even have a chance to grow up. It's also interesting to note that 'the broken glass panel analogy' is never used to warn against abusing those girls to the point of breaking them.
