“a moving and challenging insight into the heroism of ordinary lives”~Julie Rigg, ABC Radio
Aroview: The fifth film in the documentary series about the lives, hopes and dreams of three lively, working class Adelaide girls (now aged 47) since they were fourteen in 1976.
Plenty of water has flown under the bridge in the 14 years since the last installment (NOT FOURTEEN AGAIN) and this film slowly uncovers the biggest revelations of the series. Now that its scope of characters includes the extended families (including grandchildren) of Josie, Diana and Kerry, the film has its work cut out to keep track of who's-who, but its the humble strength of character that each (in their own way) demonstrates through the rigours of work, relationships and parenthood that make this the most rewarding entry thus far.

3 stars (Good Enough) Engrossing and extremely worthwhile. Watch the four docos separately first if you have time (you can fast forward a bit at start of 2, 3 and 4) ~Anon
