Summary: In Harlem, an overweight, illiterate teen who is pregnant with her second child is invited to enroll in an alternative school in hopes that her life can head in a new direction.
Comments: This movie was absolutely the most emotional, depressing movie I have seen in a long time. I don't have kids of my own yet, but this movie made me so sad towards babies... and I can't imagine going through the things that Precious had to go through as a child, and as an adult. Joining the alternative school was the best thing that could have happened to her... and I was glad to see that the movie ended with her being more independent and adult than she was before. Have a box of tissues around if you decide to watch this movie, and don't be surprised by the bad language and other abusive experiences.
