17 and Life Doesn’t Wait, a new documentary from director Maureen Judge (NSI Global Marketing), has its TV premiere on Thursday, September 26 at 9 p.m. on TVO. It will also be available to stream on TVO.org.

The documentary paints a lively, candid and emotionally charged view of life through the eyes of three tenacious teen girls in their final year of high school as they experience the impact of the outside world, their impending independence, and the conflicting expectations and overwhelming anxiety that often come with being a girl today.
