She's Too Young is an American-Canadian coproduced made-for-TV movie released in 2004, starring Marcia Gay Harden as the mother of a 14-year-old daughter who is involved in sexual acts hidden from her parents.
The film deals with the issues of drugs and alcohol, peer pressure, parenting an adolescent, the influence of the sexually-driven media, teen partying, and syphilis.
The film showcases three 14-year-old girls: Dawn (Miriam McDonald), Becca (Megan Park) and Hannah (Alexis Dziena).
When Hannah's mother finds out about the syphilis spread, she launches an effort to alert parents about their children's dangerous behavior.
Dawn is grounded and is not allowed to speak with Hannah, and Becca is making out in a car with two boys and does not hear her phone.
At the end of the film, Alexis Dziena appears to give a public service announcement urging teens to wait to have sex because of both physical and emotional consequences.
The film's soundtrack, which included two different raunchy rap songs, was largely uncredited, although the main background score was created by composer Mark Snow.
Some iconic Nova Scotian buildings to appear in the film include Halifax West High School and The Stardust Motel.
