Towelhead (alternatively titled Nothing Is Private) is a 2007 American drama film written and directed by Alan Ball and based on Alicia Erian's novel of the same name.

Jasira experiences a sexual awakening, sparked in part by adult magazines she finds when baby-sitting her next-door neighbor Zack Vuoso.

While staying at their house, Gil notices bruises on Jasira's legs and Rifat angrily knocks on the door wanting to retrieve his daughter.

One day after school, Jasira retrieves the corpse of Travis' cat, which ran off after she came by his house and was accidentally run over by Rifat on his way home.

When Melina sees Jasira talking to Mr. Vuoso, she runs outside to stop the conversation, but trips and falls down on the ground, which causes her to bleed and go into labor.

While at the hospital, Rifat is asked by Jasira to accompany Melina in the delivery room, since her husband will not make it in time.

The consensus reads, "This story of politics, race and sexual awakening has moments that pack a punch, but overall, Towelhead never quite achieves the nuance of helmer Alan Ball's television work.
